Riccardo Calafiori Injury: Remains unavailable

Calafiori (undisclosed) is not an option for Thursday's match against Liverpool, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "No, they are out again. I think [they could be back] pretty soon, they have to go to the last stage of the rehab, and if everything goes well, hopefully very soon they will be available for selection."

Calafiori is going to sit out another match as he awaits his return to play from an undisclosed injury, with the defender set to miss a fourth straight game due to the injuries. This will leave the likes of Piero Hincapie or Myles Lewis-Skelly to see the start at left-back, as the club continue without their regular. He is nearing the final stages of his recovery, with a return to play potentially coming in their next league match against Nottingham Forest on Jan. 17.
