Riccardo Calafiori’s Fitness Mystery: Will Arsenal’s Left-Back Be Ready for the High-Stakes Liverpool Clash?
The 24-year-old appeared to be favouring his hip or the side of his body at the end of the Everton match, heading straight down the tunnel at full time to receive treatment on the minor injury.
Despite Arteta’s reassurance that it’s a small issue, Calafiori is understood to be a doubt for Sunday’s meeting with Liverpool and faces a race against time to prove his fitness.
If the injury is as minor as it’s believed to be, he could be helped in that regard by the fact that Arsenal and Liverpool will play on Sunday rather than Saturday, in a rare example of a single-match Sunday in the Premier League.
