Arsenal have been dealt an injury worry after new signing Riccardo Calafiori was forced off during Italy’s Nations League clash with France.

The defender started the game at the Parc des Princes and lasted just over an hour before the blow.

Ousmane Dembele tripped and fell into the Gunners star, appearing to catch the back of Calafiori’s calf. The player then continued but ultimately had to come off after the 70 minute mark.

Italy had fallen behind to Bradley Barcola’s early goal at the Parc des Princes but eventually came back to win 3-1, their first victory over France in Paris for 70 years.

It remains to be seen if Calafiori is fit for Arsenal after the international break.

Mikel Arteta’s side have already lost fellow new signing Mikel Merino to a fractured shoulder and will be without Declan Rice for the huge trip to bitter rivals Tottenham after the international break due to his controversial red card against Brighton.
