Starting Monday
Calafiori (undisclosed) is on the bench for Monday's match against Burnley.
Analysis: Calafiori was in doubt for the contest against Burnley, but is fit and ready to go, not just on the team sheet but starting immediately. This marks a fourth straight start for the defender despite some ongoing injury concerns in the past few weeks, working hard to remain fit for the final run-in. He has recorded two assists and one goal in 24 appearances (20 starts) this season.
Doubt for Burnley clash
Calafiori (undisclosed) is a doubt for Monday's clash against Burnley after being forced off at halftime of Sunday's win over West Ham, according to coach Mikel Arteta. "We don't know whether he's going to be available now. We still have days ahead. Hopefully, it's nothing serious. We'll have to wait and see how he reacts."
Analysis: Calafiori was one of Arsenal's standout performers in the first half against West Ham before getting pulled at the break, and the club is set to monitor him closely over the next few days before deciding on his availability for Monday's matchup against the Clarets. Myles Lewis-Skelly or Piero Hincapie are the leading options to step in at left-back if Calafiori doesn't get the green light. Arsenal will be pushing hard to have their top defensive pieces ready as they gear up for the final stretch of what's shaping up to be a potential title-winning and Champions League final-winning run.
