The Italian, who reportedly twisted his right knee during the second half of Tuesday’s Champions League match, left the game after joining from Bologna in a summer move worth up to £42 million.
Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka, two important attacking players, are already out for Arsenal, and defender Jurrien Timber is also sidelined.
Regarding Calafiori, Arteta remarked, “He felt something, he could not continue playing,”
Against the Ukrainian team, Calafiori started at left-back and played a significant role, making 42 passes from a position that was frequently tucked in.
Although Arteta sat on the bench, Oleksandr Zinchenko seems like a clear replacement if necessary over the weekend.
Chris Sutton, a former Chelsea forward, claims that if Calafiori is unable to play against Arne Slot’s Liverpool team, it will be greatly missed.
Sutton informed Radio It’s such a stressful time.
The squad is under strain from injuries. Important players like Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka are absent for Arsenal.
