Ben White - knee
Last updated: 12 May 17:53
Arsenal defender Ben White (28) is set for a spell on the sidelines after suffering a medial ligament injury (knee) that will rule him out for the remainder of the season. The England international was forced off during the first half of Arsenal’s dramatic victory over West Ham, immediately raising concerns ahead of the club’s crucial final fixtures.
White will now miss Arsenal’s final Premier League matches, including key clashes against Burnley and Crystal Palace, as well as the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain later this month.
Medical assessments confirmed ligament damage in the knee, and while surgery is not currently expected, White’s recovery timeline leaves his participation in the upcoming World Cup in serious doubt. (Source: Football Arsenal)
