'Something strange in his knee' - Arsenal handed worrying update on Riccardo Calafiori after defender hobbles out of Italy's Nations League clash with Germany

Calafiori started for Italy in their 2-1 loss to Germany in the first leg of their Nations League quarterfinal clash, however, the Arsenal defender appeared to pick up an injury during the clash. The injury came after Calafiori seemed to slip during a German attack and landed awkwardly on his knee.

After some treatment on the field, Calafiori was able to continue and took part in the full 90 minutes of the clash. However, Italy boss Spalletti has now revealed that the Arsenal centre-back felt 'something strange' in his knee, sparking concerns at Arsenal.

Speaking to the media, Spalletti said: “We still don’t know if he’s injured. Ricky feels something strange in his knee but we still don’t know."

The Arsenal defender will likely take proper care of his knee injury as he has been a victim of a major knee injury as a 16-year-old. His participation in Arsenal's next Premier League clash against Fulham could be in doubt.
