Riccardo Calafiori - undisclosed
Arsenal defender Riccardo Calafiori (23) suffered an undisclosed injury during warmups ahead of the clash with Brighton and was ruled out of the match at the last minute. The Italian was expected to start at left-back but was unable to feature, forcing Mikel Arteta to adjust his lineup and hand Myles Lewis-Skelly a starting opportunity instead (Source: Simon Collings, The Sun).
