Fans say ‘he’s in for a long ride’ after spotting what Arsenal star Riccardo Calafiori did on the bench against Bolton
ARSENAL new boy Riccardo Calafiori appears to be struggling with the British weather already.
The 22-year-old looked frustrated on the bench during Wednesday’s Carabao Cup clash with Bolton.
After being substituted in the 70th minute, he was forced to sit in the pouring rain for the remainder of the match.
And fans were quick to spot his reaction.
Calafiori was seen zipping up his jacket until it covered his face, with his hood also up.
Fans took to social media to react, with one person writing: “He needs Tierney to help him adapt to the harshest of weather and not be fazed.”
Another commented: “He’s in for a long ride. .”
A third said: “He just keeps looking up like wtf is going on love it.”
While a fourth joked: “It’s rain. Like they don’t have rain in Italy .”
The Gunners went on to beat Bolton 5-1 at the Emirates Stadium thanks to goals from Declan Rice, Ethan Nwaneri, Raheem Sterling and Kai Havertz.

Calafiori joined Arsenal in a £42million transfer from Bologna this summer.
The defender has since made five appearances for Mikel Arteta‘s side.
He scored his first Premier League goal against Manchester City last weekend with a stunning strike.
After receiving the ball from Gabriel Martinelli just outside the box, he curled his shot into the top-right corner with his right foot.
The Gunners were eventually held to a 2-2 draw after going down to 10 men at half-time.
