Riccardo Calafiori

Arteta also provided an update on Calafiori, who has been ruled out of the game against Everton, he will be hoping to make a return for at least one of Arsenal’s Champions League games against Real Madrid.

The Arsenal boss simply said: “Riccy is not fit…” confirming that the Italian will miss Saturday’s game. He is dealing with a knee injury that he suffered whilst on international duty.

Expected return date – Sunday 20 April vs Ipswich Town (A)

Gabriel

Centre-back Gabriel has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a hamstring injury that he suffered during Arsenal’s win against Fulham on Tuesday night.

It comes as a huge blow to Arsenal ahead of their game against Real Madrid in the Champions League. Arteta will likely have to play Jakub Kiwior in his place. The Arsenal boss said: “Gabi will undergo a surgical repair procedure to his hamstring in the coming days and immediately begin his recovery and rehabilitation programme, with the aim to be ready for the start of next season.”

Expected return date – July 2025
