Arsenal legend Martin Keown has singled out one player for huge praise after the Gunners' 4-2 win over Leicester City.
Arsenal’s injury bugbear
The Gunners already face a growing injury crisis, with key players like captain Martin Odegaard and summer signing Mikel Merino sidelined. Takehiro Tomiyasu is also out, and Ben White missed the Leicester match due to injury.
Calafiori, a summer signing from Bologna, has impressed since his arrival, notably scoring a stunning goal against Manchester City. However, the 22-year-old has had his own struggles with injury, having recently returned from a calf problem.

Ex-Premier League referee on why Ricardo Calafiori's goal in Arsenal's dramatic draw with Man City should never have stood
Mark Halsey, a former referee at the Premier League has explained why Ricardo Calafiori's goal should have been disallowed.
Are Arsenal set to lose Calafiori?
According to reports, the Italian may have suffered a knee injury at the end of the Leicester game. This potential setback could further limit Arteta's defensive options, particularly with Ben White doubtful.
With a crucial Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain looming on Tuesday, the Arsenal manager may be forced to turn to Jakub Kiwior to fill the void in defence, even if he offers a different skill set than the attack-minded Calafiori.
What comes next?
The Gunners hope to notch back-to-back Champions League victories when they take on Luis Enrique’s PSG at the Emirates midweek.
