Suffers injury in warmups
Calafiori suffered an undisclosed injury during warmups before Saturday's game against Brighton and won't be available, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "And there's something with Richy as well, very, very strange."
ANALYSIS
The Italian defender was expected to start at left-back, but now he's been ruled out altogether from this match. This means Myles Lewis-Skelly will get the nod as his replacement. Calafiori serves as the club's main left-back, with three goal contributions to his name this campaign, so they will hope further testing only reveals a minor injury.
