Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal is facing a growing injury crisis ahead of Sunday’s pivotal match against Premier League leaders Liverpool.
Injury Updates
The latest setback came during Wednesday’s Champions League win over Shakhtar Donetsk, where Ricardo Calafiori was forced off the field due to injury.
Arteta stated, “He had to leave the field because he felt something. I don’t know how serious the injury is, so in that sense, it’s not very good news.”
Pre-Existing Concerns
Calafiori joins Bukayo Saka and Martin Ødegaard on the sidelines, with both players already ruled out for the Liverpool match.
Jurriën Timber’s Absence
Defender Jurriën Timber will also miss the game due to injury, further depleting Arsenal’s options.
Suspension Blow
William Saliba will serve a one-match suspension after receiving a red card, which the club will not appeal.
Sunday’s Clash
Arsenal’s depleted squad will face Liverpool on Sunday, with Arteta facing a significant challenge to field a competitive lineup.
