Riccardo Calafiori is the latest addition to the Gunners’ injury list after picking up a knee injury during their Champions League match against Shakhtar Donetsk.
Calafiori’s injury comes as Arsenal are already without key players like Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka. Odegaard has been sidelined in recent weeks, while Saka sustained a fitness issue during the international break with England.
Their absence was felt over the weekend as Arsenal fell to a 2-0 defeat against Bournemouth, leaving them four points behind current league leaders, Liverpool.
The injury to Calafiori occurred after a collision with a Shakhtar player, forcing him to be substituted by Myles Lewis-Skelly.
According to reports, the Italian defender twisted his knee, and his status for the upcoming match remains uncertain.
Arteta will be waiting anxiously for updates, as Calafiori has been a regular in Arsenalโs lineup, starting the last four Premier League matches.
To add to Arsenal’s woes, William Saliba will also miss the Liverpool game after receiving a red card against Bournemouth.
The absence of both Calafiori and Saliba could severely weaken Arsenal’s defense.
A win for Liverpool would extend their lead to seven points, boosting their title chancesโฆCLICK HERE TO READ MORE ARTICLES>>>
