LONDON - Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said his side's growing injury list was becoming a worry, after Riccardo Calafiori limped off near the end of a scrappy 1-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League on Oct 22.
The London club started without captain and long-term absentee Martin Odegaard and forward Bukayo Saka, and Italian defender Calafiori now also looks like a doubt for the Oct 27 English Premier League game against Liverpool after injuring his knee.
Versatile defender Jurrien Tim-
ber is also struggling to be fit for the visit of Liverpool, while centreback William Saliba will be missing after his red card in the 2-0 defeat at Bournemouth on Oct 19.
"With Riccy, he had to come off because he felt something. I don't know the extent of it but it's not good news, it's a bit of a worry," said Arteta, whose side have seven points from their opening three Champions League games.
Arsenal fans will be happy to learn that full-back Ben White's substitution at half-time was not injury-related, but because he had picked up a yellow card.
