Calafiori trains with Arsenal teammates before Atletico Madrid clash
Arsenal are preparing for the first leg of the Champions League semifinals against Atletico Madrid.
The Gunners will visit Diego Simeone at the Wanda Metropolitano on Wednesday, April 29, with the decider played at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday, May 5.
Italy international Calafiori was spotted training with his teammates on Tuesday, reports Football London, suggesting the Italian defender should be available for the trip to Spain.
Calafiori suffered a knock in Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Sporting CP on April 7 and has not featured since.
He was also unavailable for Arsenal’s latest game against Newcastle on Saturday despite arriving at the Emirates Stadium with his teammates.
Calafiori, a former Bologna and Roma defender, is in his second season at Arsenal. He has scored one goal and provided three assists in 31 appearances across all competitions in 2025-26.
