Taken off injured
Calafiori was taken off at halftime of Sunday's 1-0 win over West Ham due to an apparent injury, according to manager Mikel Arteta, per James Olley of ESPN.
Analysis: Calafiori would be taken off at halftime Sunday after being one of the more influential pieces to start the match, raising questions about his health. That said, it has now been deemed that he was taken off due to injury, although little else has been said. This is something to monitor as they conclude the season and a possible title chance, as he did start in their past three games at left-back, with Myles Lewis-Skelly or Piero Hincapie as a possible replacement.
Finds bench
Calafiori (undisclosed) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Atletico Madrid.
Analysis: Calafiori has returned from an undisclosed injury and is fit for play again, as the defender earns a bench role. His usage Wednesday is undetermined, as they could stick with Piero Hincapie at left-back the whole match. He has only started in three of his five UCL appearances all season, earning one assist and two clean sheets.
