Riccardo Calafiori Injury: Still needs a few more weeks

Calafiori is set to miss a few more weeks as he recovers from a muscle injury, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "It's a muscle injury. He's progressing, but we don't know. I think it will matter for a few weeks probably, but we don't know exactly when."

Calafiori has been out two weeks and will continue his absence, as the defender is still a few weeks away. He's dealing with a muscle strain, and the club is taking his return cautiously to avoid aggravating the injury. With a return date still up in the air, the soonest it appears he could return would be late January, leaving more time for Myles Lewis-Skelly since Piero Hincapie is also dealing with a new injury suffered while playing at left-back.
