Arsenal fans are facing a period of uncertainty following news that their newly acquired defender, Riccardo Calafiori, has suffered a knee injury. The Italian international, who recently joined the Gunners, was forced to leave the Italy national team's training camp prematurely, sparking worries about his availability for upcoming matches, including a crucial Champions League clash against Real Madrid.

Calafiori's injury was confirmed after he experienced discomfort in his knee during a training session with Italy.
