The Gunners visit the Magpies in a Premier League game on Saturday, but Italy international Calafiori won’t be eligible.
Arteta said at a press conference that Calafiori is ‘definitely out’ for the trip at St. James’ Park.
Calafiori suffered a knee injury in a Champions League game against Shakhtar Donetsk less than two weeks ago.
The problem is seemingly not as serious as initially feared, but will still force the Italy star to the sidelines for a few weeks.
Recent reports suggest Calafiori won’t return to action for Arsenal before the end of November and the start of December.
Calafiori joined Arsenal from Bologna in a €50m deal last summer and has scored one goal in 10 appearances for the Gunners.
