Arsenal star suffers hip injury on international duty

Arsenal star Riccardo Calafiori has reportedly suffered a hip injury which will rule him out of the World Cup qualifier against Moldova.

The Gunners ace has been ever-present in the Premier League this term and he has cemented the left-back position ahead of Myles Lewis-Skelly.

He is presently on international duty with the Azzurri, but has been ruled out of the upcoming clash against Moldova due to a setback.

The injury is reportedly not serious and he could be fit for the next World Cup qualifier against Norway before returning to the Gunners.

Arsenal will be keeping a close eye on his situation, given he has been hugely inconsistent in the opening phase of the league campaign.

Calafiori has got over his injury troubles from his debut season and hopefully, he will be fully fit before the north London derby.

Arsenal dropped points after a 2-2 draw against Sunderland last weekend, but they are still four points ahead at the top of the league.
