Bukayo Saka

Riccardo Calafiori

Calafiori was forced off with an apparent injury in the closing stages of Italy’s defeat to Germany on Thursday. The defender slipped on the pitch with his knee appearing to buckle underneath.

The centre-back received treatment but could not continue. Italy head coach Luciano Spalletti said: “He said that his knee feels strange, but cannot answer more precisely than that, so we’ll have to see.”

Calafiori is expected to be assessed by Italy’s medical staff ahead of the second leg of their Nations Leaugue quarter-final with Germany.

Expected return: Unknown

Gabriel Jesus

Jesus has been out of action since suffering an ACL injury in Arsenal’s FA Cup defeat to Manchester United at the start of January.

The Gunners have since confirmed that Jesus will be out of action for a significant amount of day and, therefore, miss the remainder of the season.

Expected return: Next season

Takehiro Tomiyasu

Last month, Tomiyasu confirmed that he had undergone knee surgery and is likely to miss the remainder of the 2024/25 season.

Expected return: Next season

Kai Havertz

Kai Havertz’s season was brutally ended when he suffered a hamstring injury on Arsenal’s mid-season training camp to the Middle East.

The Gunners have confirmed that the Germany international will be sidelined with the muscle injury until the start of the 2025/26 season.
