Calafiori (strain) is an option for Wednesday's match against Dinamo Zagreb, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "It's very positive news, we've missed him for a few weeks and he has returned today for training so he will be available for the game."
ANALYSIS
Calafiori returned to training Tuesday, leading to his availability for Wednesday. However, he did just return to training, likely meaning he will be in a more limited role. He will likely begin on the bench after a decent layoff but does have a possibility of seeing the start at left-back, starting in 11 of his 15 appearances this campaign.
