Riccardo Calafiori breaks Arsenal injury silence with clear message before Fulham
Riccardo Calafiori, Arsenal’s Italian defender, has shared his excitement about returning from a knee injury that sidelined him for over a month. The 21-year-old sustained the injury during a Champions League match against Shakhtar Donetsk in October but made his comeback in Arsenal’s 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest. This performance saw him starting and playing 66 minutes before being substituted.
Calafiori expressed his gratitude on social media, stating, “I’ve missed you a lot, guys,” and praised the atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium. His return comes at a critical time, with Arsenal set to face Fulham in an upcoming Premier League match. Calafiori’s presence boosts Arsenal’s defensive options as they aim to maintain their momentum in both domestic and European competitions.
Since joining Arsenal from Bologna for €50 million last summer, Calafiori has made 11 appearances and scored one goal across all competitions. His adaptability and strong performances are expected to play a significant role in Arsenal’s pursuit of silverware this season. Fans and teammates alike are optimistic about his impact as he regains full fitness.
