Riccardo Calafiori sidelined for two to three weeks due to knee injury

Arsenal defender Riccardo Calafiori has returned to his club after sustaining a knee injury during Italy's Nations League quarter-final against Germany, which will sideline him for approximately two to three weeks. The 22-year-old suffered the injury in the final minutes of the match, requiring treatment and ultimately ruling him out of the second leg in Dortmund. Italian sources indicate that Calafiori has first to second-degree collateral ligament damage, but fears of a more severe injury have been alleviated. His absence comes at a challenging time for Arsenal, who are already coping with injuries to other key players. While he is expected to miss matches against Fulham and Everton, there is hope he may recover in time for the Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid. Calafiori's ongoing injury issues have been a concern since he joined Arsenal, affecting his playing time significantly this season.
