In other Gunners' injury news, Arteta also admitted that he is hopeful the injury sustained by Riccardo Calafiori on international duty is not as bad as first feared.
Arteta on Calafiori: “He unfortunately picked up an injury with the national team. It could have been much worse. Hopefully it’s a matter of weeks, but we will have to see how it evolves.” #AFC
