Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta admitted that Italy international Riccardo Calafiori felt \u2018emotional\u2019 as he feared a serious injury after Arsenal\u2019s 4-2 victory over Leicester City in the Premier League over the weekend, but issued an encouraging update that he is \u2018in contention\u2019 to feature in the Champions League on Tuesday night.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fortunately, Arteta has reassured supporters that Calafiori is under consideration to play against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night, although he will be assessed on the day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c(Ben White and Riccardo Calafiori) are two players that are in contention and we have to review today. We didn\u2019t do any training sessions yesterday. (Riccardo) was a bit emotional after the game, so let\u2019s see how he is today,\u201d Arteta said during his pre-match press conference.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cThey are two players that have a football brain, the intelligence, the quality and adaptability to occupy different spaces whether attacking or defending.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRiccardo understood what we wanted straight away and he felt that he was going to be a perfect fit here and he was. He landed with the biggest smile on his face. He\u2019s got this energy and aura around him. He\u2019s very likeable and he\u2019s a fighter, a player that wanted to play in the way we want to play and he\u2019d do anything for the team.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Calafiori and his Arsenal teammates will host PSG at the Emirates on Tuesday night, kicking off at 20.00 BST.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
