Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta opened himself up to the possibility of changing his team’s pre-match warmups—or ditching them entirely—after losing a player to injury for the fourth time this season.
Riccardo Calafiori was named in the XI to take on Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup on Sunday afternoon only to pull out a matter of minutes before kick off. It was the second time this season that Calafiori has fallen foul of the pre-match buildup, which has also claimed William Saliba and Bukayo Saka this season.
