Riccardo Calafiori’s Knee Injury Sidelines Him from Arsenal and Italy Duties

Arsenal and Italy defender Riccardo Calafiori faces a period on the sidelines after suffering a knee injury during a Nations League match. The setback occurred while Calafiori was representing Italy, and it has been confirmed that the injury will keep him out of action for several weeks. This unfortunate development is a blow to both Arsenal and the Italian national team, as the young defender has been making significant strides in his career.

Calafiori's injury was initially reported by the Daily Mail, which detailed how the incident took place during the Nations League clash.
