Ryan Taylor reports for the Mirror that sources close to Riccardo Calafiori have indicated he has a chance to returning to the Arsenal team against Manchester City this weekend, following his recent knock.
The news is less positive with Bukayo Saka, with the player reportedly “facing an uphill battle” to prove his fitness in time. Taylor reveals that Saka’s issue is believed to be Achilles tendinopathy, and Arsenal don’t want to rush his return and lose him for the season.
Taylor doesn’t rule Saka out of the City game completely, but it would require progress and a return to training over the coming days.
