Arsenal star Riccardo Calafiori could be out due to injury as per the latest news. The 22-year-old picked up a knock while playing for Italy in the UEFA Nations League. Italy had to face France in match day 1 of the UNL in Paris. Spalletti’s side fell behind initially within a minute as the home side took the lead. But, they managed to turn the tide around to win by 3-1. Despite picking up a massive win, Calafiori’s injury is also the center of attention. The defender was very good for Bologna last season, helping them to a UCL qualification. At the same time, he also was able to impress in the EUROs. As a result, the Gunners made a move for him this summer.
What actually happened?
Arsenal defender Calafiori picking up an injury is all over the news. Not just because of the fact that he is hurt, but also because of the way he got hurt. Actually, he was just in the wrong place at a very wrong time. It was actually a duel between Bastoni and Dembele. The Italian won the ball fair and square but ended up catching the Frenchman in his follow-through. It was Dembele who then ended up making contact with the 22-year-old, injuring his calf.
Arsenal news: When will Calafiori return from injury?
As per metro.co.uk, the Italian medical staff is quite confident of the situation. They believe that the 22-year-old will make a swift and a quick recovery. But more than the Italians, Arsenal fans will are happier after getting the news that Calafiori may not have a serious injury. The Gunners were so close to de-throning Man City in the Premier League last season. They have built a very good squad this summer. They have a real chance of winning big titles. But, they will have to keep their players fit. Arteta will be keen to see the defender back on-the-field as the Gunners play Tottenham after the international break.
