Arsenal player Riccardo Calafiori may have gotten injured during the Leicester game, as he was seen wearing knee support.
During the recent match against Leicester, there was a moment of concern for Arsenal fans as their defender, Riccardo Calafiori, appeared to injure himself while celebrating a goal by Leandro Trossard. The team managed to secure a 4-2 victory over their opponents, but the incident has left some fans worried about Calafiori's condition.

Despite the potential injury, Calafiori played the full 90 minutes of the game, proving his dedication to the team. However, he did go down in pain after Trossard's goal and was seen clutching his left knee, the same knee that he had injured in 2018 and was out of action for almost a year. Later on, he also landed awkwardly while competing for a header, further adding to the concern for his well-being.

After the match, Calafiori was seen wearing a knee compression sleeve while signing autographs for fans. This has raised questions about his fitness for the upcoming Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain. Manager Mikel Arteta will likely provide an update on Calafiori's condition in his post-match press conference.

It is not just Calafiori who has been dealing with injuries in the Arsenal squad. Before the game against Leicester, there were doubts about the fitness of David Raya, Jurrien Timber, and Ben White, all of whom were nursing injuries. While Raya and Timber were able to play, White was unable to recover from his groin injury in time. Other players like Oleksandr Zinchenko, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Mikel Merino, and club captain Martin Odegaard are also currently sidelined with injuries.

Despite the team surrendering a two-goal lead, Arteta expressed his satisfaction with their overall performance. He was pleased with the chances they created and how they dominated the game. However, he also acknowledged the quality of Leicester and their ability to score two goals. He was impressed with how his team dealt with the situation and their emotional control, which ultimately led to their victory.

The manager also addressed the concerns about throwing away the lead and the team's ability to handle pressure. He admitted that it was worrying, especially given their performance, but also acknowledged that it is part of the beauty of football. In the end, he was grateful for the support of the fans, who were once again incredible in their unwavering support for the team.

As Arsenal prepares for their next match, they will have to wait and see if Calafiori's injury will affect his availability. However, with a strong team and the support of their loyal fans, the Gunners are ready to face any challenge that comes their way.
