Arsenal and Italian national team defender Riccardo Calafiori has received positive news regarding his recent injury. After much speculation following his exit from the match against Shakhtar Donetsk, it has been confirmed that Calafiori suffered only a minor issue with his medial collateral ligament.
Il Corriere dello Sport report that this development comes as a relief to Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, Italy’s coach Luciano Spalletti, and Calafiori himself, who has previously faced significant challenges with knee injuries.
Calafiori was substituted in the 72nd minute during Tuesday night’s game after an awkward fall. Despite initial concerns, the injury is not severe.
Arteta is expected to provide more details on Calafiori’s condition and recovery timeline soon, but it is anticipated that he will be sidelined for only a few weeks. This update is encouraging for Arsenal as they prepare for upcoming matches, including a crucial Premier League clash against Liverpool.
