Arsenal have received an update on Riccardo Calafiori after the Gunners newcomer was forced off injured during Italy’s Nations League opener against France.
The versatile defender, a £42million summer signing from Serie A side Bologna, started for the Azzurri on Friday night as they recovered from Bradley Barcola’s opening goal inside just 12 seconds to triumph 3-1 in Group A2 thanks to goals from Federico Dimarco, Davide Frattesi and Giacomo Raspadori and an inspired performance from Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali on his first international appearance since serving a 10-month ban for breaching betting rules.
