Calafiori Injury Worries Arsenal Ahead of Fulham Match

Italian defender Riccardo Calafiori suffered a knee injury during Italy's 2-1 Nations League defeat to Germany, causing him to miss the second leg against Germany and return to Arsenal for further assessment. The 22-year-old, who joined Arsenal from Bologna last summer, has faced multiple injuries this season, impacting his availability for both club and country. Italy's head coach Luciano Spalletti confirmed uncertainty about the extent of Calafiori's injury, noting the defender felt something 'strange' in his knee. Arsenal is concerned about Calafiori's recurrent fitness issues as they prepare for their next Premier League match against Fulham on April 1. Despite his injury setbacks, Calafiori has been a regular in Mikel Arteta's team, demonstrating versatility and contributing significantly since arriving in North London.
