Arsenal’s injury woes continue to mount, with Gabriel Magalhaes, Riccardo Calafiori, and Reiss Nelson facing extended absences. Gabriel and Calafiori are major doubts for Saturday’s clash against Everton, while Nelson is expected to be out for around 10 weeks with a hamstring injury.
Manager Mikel Arteta has been tight-lipped on the specifics of Gabriel and Calafiori’s injuries, but hopes the former can return this weekend. Calafiori’s eagerness to return has Arteta concerned, as he wants to “calm him down” to avoid further setbacks.
Nelson’s injury is a blow for both Fulham and Arsenal. The loanee was impressing at Craven Cottage, but will now be sidelined for a significant period. Despite the injury, Arteta expressed his happiness for Nelson’s success and confirmed he remains an Arsenal player.
