Calafiori Hip Concern Opens Window for Lewis-Skelly at Arsenal

Arsenal do not plan a January loan, leaving the 19-year-old to chase minutes during Calafiori's hip recovery.

Overview

  • Riccardo Calafiori has been training separately with Italy due to a hip issue and is expected to miss Thursday’s qualifier against Moldova.
  • Myles Lewis-Skelly has logged just 86 Premier League minutes across seven substitute outings this season, featuring more in Europe and the Carabao Cup.
  • England manager Thomas Tuchel left Lewis-Skelly out of the latest squad and has warned he needs more club minutes to make the 2026 World Cup.
  • Arsenal Insider reports the club has no plans to loan the full-back in January, even as outside speculation about a move continues.
  • With a dense run after the break, including Tottenham on Nov. 23, Bayern Munich on Nov. 26 and Chelsea on Nov. 30, opportunities could arrive if Arteta rotates at left-back.
