Arsenal defender Calafiori injured in the match against Shakhtar. How long will he miss?

Yesterday, Arsenal narrowly defeated Shakhtar Donetsk (1-0) in the third gameweek of the UEFA Champions League, but Mikel Arteta's side suffered a significant setback.

Details: In the second half, starting left-back Riccardo Calafiori sustained a knee injury and was substituted by Myles Lewis-Skelly in the 72nd minute.

Although an official diagnosis has yet to be provided, Arteta expressed concern about the severity of the injury. It appears to be a knee issue, but reports suggest it is not a cruciate ligament injury.

According to independent analysts from Physio Scout | Football Injury Analysis, the worst-case scenario could see Calafiori sidelined for up to 10 weeks. However, if the diagnosis is more favorable, his recovery could take as little as two weeks.

Reminder: This weekend, Arsenal faces a crucial Premier League clash against Liverpool in the title race. Key central defender William Saliba will miss the match due to suspension.
