Picked for bench Calafiori (undisclosed) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Wolves.

Impact Calafiori is fit, and an option after a slight injury left him out over the weekend, with the defender now an option from the bench. He will look to test his legs before returning to a starting role, likely to replace Piero Hincapie at left-back.

Impact Calafiori is not going to be sidelined very long after he was dropped from the team in warmups over the weekend, with the defender avoiding any injury, and already an option. He will likely still go through some testing to decide how fit he is, not wanting to risk the defender's health. With 17 starts in 19 appearances, he will expect to return to the starting XI, although they may be cautious and start Myles Lewis-Skelly instead.

Injured during warmups Calafiori was injured during warmups and is out for Sunday's match against Wigan Athletic.

Impact Calafiori had to be replaced from the starting XI Sunday, with the defender injured during warmups and dropping from the team sheet completely. The club will likely see him for further testing after the match, with little available about the situation at the moment. Myles Lewis-Skelly received the start at left-back in his place, as Bukayo Saka replaced him in the starting XI.

Arsenal player ratings vs Kairat Almaty: Kai Havertz is back! Returning German stars as Gunners complete perfect Champions League league phase

In starting XI Wednesday Calafiori (strain) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's UCL matchup versus Kairat.

Impact Calafiori has been surprisingly included in the initial lineup despite coming off a one-month absence, but it's unclear how much playing time he's ready for. With Myles Lewis-Skelly also featuring against Kairat, the Italian could play in a central spot, focusing on defensive duties while he's on the field.

JANUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Features in practice Calafiori (strain) has trained Tuesday after missing the last month of action due to injury, Simon Collings of The Sun reports.

Impact Calafiori might still need more time to be ready to start, but his comeback could be close in upcoming weeks. He should eventually be a solid alternative to Myles Lewis-Skelly and Piero Hincapie at left-back. Prior to the issue, Calafiori racked up 24 shots, 23 crosses, 45 clearances, one goal and three assists in 19 appearances across all competitions.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Another match out Calafiori (strain) is out for Sunday's match against Manchester United.

Impact Calafiori will extend his absence for yet another match, missing an eighth straight game due to a strain. A return for the defender is still up in the air, with no clear return date, having two chances to play this week, facing Kairat on Wednesday and Leeds on Saturday.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Uncertain for Sunday Calafiori (strain) is uncertain for Sunday's game against Manchester United, manager Mikel Arteta told media during Friday's pre-match press conference. "We still have another trai...

Impact Calafiori has yet to play in 2026 due to a muscular strain, but it seems he has a chance of returning to the squad if everything goes well in Saturday's training session. If healthy, Calafiori should contend for a starting role on the left side of the defense. Myles Lewis-Skelly has been playing at left-back in the meantime.

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 thin...

Impact Calafiori has been out for around the past two weeks and will continue his absence, as the defender is still a few weeks away. That said, he is dealing with a 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 is Jan. 25 against Manchester United, likely to miss out against Nottingham on Jan. 17 and Inter Milan on Jan. 20.

Still not ready to return Calafiori (undisclosed) won't be an option for Sunday's Carabao Cup game against Portsmouth, coach Mikel Arteta said in the press conference. "I don't think so. I think that game i...

Impact Calafiori missed the last four games due to an undisclosed injury and will miss a fifth game in a row since Sunday's Carabao Cup game against Portsmouth is coming too early for him. The Italian will hope to be back available for next Saturday's Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest since he was a regular starter at left-back for the Gunners prior to his injury. Until then, Piero Hincapie and Myles Lewis-Skelly are the main options to replace him in the defense.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Remains unavailable Calafiori (undisclosed) is not an option for Thursday's match against Liverpool, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "No, they are out again. I think [they could be back] pretty soo...

Impact Calafiori is going to sit out another match as he awaits his return to play from an undisclosed injury, with the defender set to miss a fourth straight game due to the injuries. This will leave the likes of Piero Hincapie or Myles Lewis-Skelly to see the start at left-back, as the club continue without their regular. He is nearing the final stages of his recovery, with a return to play potentially coming in their next league match against Nottingham Forest on Jan. 17.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing against Bournemouth Calafiori (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's clash against Bournemouth, manager Mikel Arteta confirmed Friday.

Impact Calafiori picked up his current issue during warmups prior to a Dec. 27 matchup versus Brighton. However, little is known about the injury, and he's now set to miss a third successive game. With the Gunners' main left-back still unavailable, Piero Hincapie might be deployed in that position again to take advantage of his defensive strength.
