Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Riccardo Calafiori picked up an injury issue during Arsenal's win over Everton, but the manager has played down the severity of the problem.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta confirmed that Riccardo Calafiori sustained a minor injury issue during the club's victory over Everton. The 24-year-old defender, who came on as a substitute for the final quarter of the match, headed straight down the tunnel at the final whistle. Arteta downplayed the severity of the problem, describing it as a small, light issue.
Calafiori could be rested for Arsenal's upcoming midweek League Cup fixture against Fleetwood Town, potentially allowing Piero Hincapie or Myles Lewis-Skelly to feature. The primary concern remains Arsenal's upcoming Premier League match against Liverpool, with Bukayo Saka and William Saliba already expected to miss out.
