Italian defender Riccardo Calafiori participated today in Arsenal's training sessions, and is expected to be ready to participate in the Champions League match tomorrow against Bayer Leverkusen, in news that also represents a positive addition for the Italian national team, according to 'Football Italia'.

Calafiori, who previously played for Bologna, took part in Arsenal's training on Tuesday on the sidelines of preparations for facing the German team away in the Champions League, as he was seen on the field during the last training session before heading to Germany.

The player had to leave the match against Mansfield last weekend in the FA Cup after an injury during the second half.

Calafiori's recovery comes at an ideal time for the Italian national team, which will face Northern Ireland in the World Cup playoff semi-final on March 26, with the possibility of facing the winner of the Wales vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina match in the final on March 31, making his readiness crucial for the national team.

Arsenal's coach Mikel Arteta is expected to provide more details about the player's physical condition during the pre-match press conference, to determine his readiness to participate against Bayer Leverkusen.
