Riccardo Calafiori Set to Miss Italy’s Moldova Qualifier With Hip Issue

Italy plan for him to target a return against Norway with a focus on recovery.

Overview

  • The Arsenal left-back trained away from Italy’s main group at Coverciano with a hip complaint, according to multiple reports.
  • He is expected to be unavailable for Thursday’s World Cup qualifier against Moldova.
  • The current aim is for him to prioritise treatment to be ready for Sunday’s match against Norway.
  • Arsenal are monitoring his condition closely given a packed post-break schedule and his status as a regular starter this season.
  • Separately, Nicolò Cambiaghi was withdrawn with a minor calf injury, and Gennaro Gattuso was slated to provide further team updates on Wednesday.
