Calafiori back in Arsenal training

Arsenal defender Riccardo Calafiori has returned to full training ahead of the Premier League meeting against Burnley at the Emirates Stadium on Monday night.




The Gunners are currently on 79 points after 36 games, two ahead of second-placed Manchester City. They will lift a long-awaited league title by winning their final two matches of the campaign.

Ahead of the Clarets clash next week, the north London giants have received a big boost with Calafiori back in team training after his injury scare against West Ham United on the road last weekend.

The Italian picked up an injury during the opening half at the London Stadium and was removed at the break. However, he has made a quick recovery and was spotted on the training pitch earlier on Thursday.

Still, manager Mikel Arteta has a big decision to make on whom to start in the left-back position. Piero Hincapie was an unused substitute last weekend and could be reinstated into the starting line-up.
