Calafiori breaks silence after injury return, but red card controversy scares Arsenal fans

Italy international Riccardo Calafiori marked his return to action in Arsenal's 5-1 win over Crystal Palace, making his 9th Premier League appearance this season after recovering from injury.

The versatile defender played the final 32 minutes, celebrating the victory on Instagram.

However, a challenge by Palace's Nathaniel Clyne in the second half raised concerns among Arsenal fans, as Clyne tackled Calafiori, leaving him on the ground in pain.

The referee initially gave a yellow card, but after a VAR review, the decision stood, with officials deeming the tackle reckless, not serious foul play.

Arsenal fans expressed relief on social media, with one commenting, "Thankfully you survived that crazy tackle."
