Arsenal's Injury Crisis Worsens as Calafiori Joins the List

Arsenal faces deeper injury troubles as Calafiori adds to their woes ahead of a crucial match against Liverpool.

Arsenal's injury troubles took a turn for the worse over the weekend as Ricardo Calafiori joined the growing list of sidelined players. 

During their 2-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League, Calafiori fell awkwardly in the 72nd minute and had to be substituted for young midfielder Lewis Myles Skelly. 

This injury comes at a particularly difficult time for the Gunners, who are already struggling with fitness issues across their squad.

Mikel Arteta's team, preparing for a high-profile Premier League clash against Liverpool at the Emirates, now faces a serious depth problem. 

Calafiori’s injury compounds Arsenal's growing list of absentees, including key players like Jurien Timber, who is still sidelined with a thigh issue, and Bukayo Saka, who is battling a hamstring problem. 

With Arsenal’s season hanging in the balance, particularly with tough fixtures ahead, these injuries could have a significant impact on their campaign.

Arteta expressed his concerns post-match, stating that his team needs to stay resilient through these testing times. 

Liverpool's upcoming visit to the Emirates could be a pivotal match in Arsenal's season, but with several first-team players missing, it will be a challenge to maintain their momentum. 

Calafiori's condition is still being evaluated, and fans are anxiously awaiting updates as Arsenal’s squad depth will be tested in the coming weeks.
