Defender Riccardo Calafiori is the latest Arsenal player to suffer an injury. |
In the early hours of February 16th, Arsenal secured a resounding 4-0 victory against Wigan Athletic, thus qualifying for the fifth round of the FA Cup for the first time since 2020. However, the joy of the Emirates Stadium team was short-lived as defender Riccardo Calafiori unexpectedly suffered an injury during the warm-up before the match.
During the match, Arsenal's defense suffered another blow when defender Ben White had to leave the field in the second half after receiving medical attention. However, the English player quickly reassured fans by confirming on social media that he did not suffer a serious injury.
However, Arsenal's injury list continues to grow with the addition of Kai Havertz and Mikel Merino, causing concern for manager Mikel Arteta. Not long before, captain Martin Odegaard was also sidelined due to an injury sustained in the 1-1 draw with Brentford.

Coach Arteta stated that the team is struggling with a shortage of players in various positions, from attack and defense to midfield. According to the Spanish strategist, the early return of key players will not only increase squad depth but also provide more tactical options during a period of a packed schedule.
Following the victory against Wigan, midfielder Noni Madueke urged Arsenal fans to continue believing in the team. He emphasized that the Gunners are working hard every day to maintain their form and aim for a memorable season.
Arsenal face a tough fixture list, beginning with a Premier League clash against Wolves on February 19th. The London club is still competing on all fronts this season, hoping to become the first English club to win four trophies in a single season.
