Arteta will likely provide an update on the severity of Calafiori’s injury when he faces the media in the run-up to Sunday’s meeting with Liverpool. Third-placed Arsenal trail Liverpool by four points in the Premier League table after falling to a 2-0 loss away to Bournemouth last time out – the club’s first defeat of the top-flight campaign.

Riccardo Calafiori will be out for a matter of weeks, according to reports in Italy. The player, who had to be taken off early in Arsenal's 1-0 Champions League group phase victory over Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday, appeared to damage his knee.

Mikel Arteta fears Riccardo Calafiori could join Arsenal's mounting injury list but vowed the Gunners "will be flying" against Liverpool on Sunday. Calafiori limped out of Tuesday's 1-0 Champions League win over Shakhtar Donetsk at Emirates Stadium 18 minutes from the end after falling awkwardly on his right leg.
