Arsenal's defender Riccardo Calafiori suffered a concerning slip during an international match, raising concerns about his fitness ahead of a Champions League clash. Journalist Charles Watts expressed his worries, highlighting the player’s prior injury issues. Calafiori himself remained uncertain about the severity of the injury, mirroring the ambiguity from Italy’s manager. The situation is particularly troubling for Arsenal, already grappling with multiple key injuries this season, which has forced manager Mikel Arteta to adapt his squad heavily, including using Mikel Merino as a makeshift striker.
I really, really hope this doesn't end up being as bad as it looks. That is a horrible, horrible slip.
Calafiori spoke to reporters and said he didn't know how serious the injury was.
Arsenal won't want to be without Calafiori for too long, with the north London giants already enduring enough bad luck as it is this season.
