Arsenal’s Riccardo Calafiori has returned to team training on Tuesday, just one day before their crucial Champions League semi-final first leg against Atletico Madrid.
The Italian defender, who had been sidelined with a knock, was seen training with his fellow Gunners. This positive development suggests that Calafiori will be available for selection when Arsenal face Diego Simeone’s side at the Wanda Metropolitano on Wednesday, April 29th.
Calafiori sustained an injury during Arsenal’s 1-0 victory over Sporting CP on April 7th and has missed subsequent matches, including their recent encounter against Newcastle. His return to the training pitch is a significant boost for the North London club as they prepare for the high-stakes European tie, with the second leg scheduled for May 5th at the Emirates Stadium.
The former Bologna and Roma player is in his second season with Arsenal, having contributed one goal and three assists in 31 appearances across all competitions during the 2025-26 campaign.
