Riccardo Calafiori recently returned to training with Arsenal after sustaining an injury while on international duty. The team is preparing for their upcoming Champions League match against Atalanta, and it looks like Calafiori and Bukayo Saka will be available for selection. The Gunners will be facing the Europa League holders, who defeated Liverpool in two legs last season.
Last Sunday, Arsenal secured a morale-boosting win against Tottenham, despite missing key players like Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice. While Odegaard will remain sidelined due to an ankle injury, Rice will return to the lineup after serving a one-match suspension in the domestic league. In addition, summer signing Riccardo Calafiori, who was pictured training on Tuesday morning, seems ready to make his debut for the team. Bukayo Saka, who was substituted in the closing stages of the Tottenham match due to a minor injury, also appears to have recovered and is expected to feature in the upcoming game.
Unfortunately, Mikel Merino, Oleksandr Zinchenko, and Takehiro Tomiyasu are still recovering from injuries and won't be traveling with the team to Bergamo. With the departure of his fellow Hale End Academy graduates, Saka is now part of the senior leadership group at Arsenal. However, he admits that he misses his former teammates and the bond they shared. In a recent podcast, Saka expressed his happiness for their success and believes they will shine in the Premier League this season.
On the other hand, Raheem Sterling joined Arsenal on a season-long loan deal after being exiled by Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca. Saka, who has played with Sterling for England, is excited to have him on the team and believes he will bring valuable qualities and help them win. The team is looking forward to his contribution in their upcoming matches.
