Arsenal defender Riccardo Calafiori has withdrawn from the Italy squad through injury amid reports that he is facing two to three weeks out, putting him in a race to be fit to face Real Madrid.
Calafiori was forced off late on in the Azzurri’s 2-1 Nations League quarter-final first-leg defeat by Germany in Milan on Thursday night after slipping horribly while trying to intercept a pass and seeing his left knee buckle painfully underneath him.
