Arsenal have been dealt another injury blow as Riccardo Calafiori returns home from international duty with Italy early.
The defender joined up with his compatriots for their World Cup qualifiers against Moldova and Norway, but trained alone amid complaints of a hip injury.
Calafiori has been Mikel Arteta’s first-choice left-back this term, and he played the full 90 minutes of the 2-2 draw at Sunderland in their most recent Premier League outing.
The hip issue meant that he played no part in the 2-0 win over Moldova, and now he will not play against Norway either, with the Azzurri looking to end their qualifying campaign with a flourish.
