Arsenal Defender Ben White Ruled Out of Title Run-In and Champions League Final

1 / 2

Arsenal defender Ben White is set to miss the remainder of the season after suffering a knee injury during the 1-0 win over West Ham. The 28-year-old faces suspected medial collateral ligament damage and will sit out the final two Premier League matches and the Champions League final. Manager Mikel Arteta admitted concern after the game, noting that White “doesn’t look good at all.” His absence leaves the Gunners short at right-back, with Timber also unavailable as Arsenal bid for their first league title in 22 years and prepare for Paris Saint-Germain in the May 30 final. White’s season has been disrupted by fitness issues over the past 18 months. He underwent knee surgery last year and missed three months of action. This term he made 30 appearances across all competitions but started only nine league games before stepping in for the injured Timber. Arsenal now conclude their Premier League campaign with a home match against Burnley on May 18 and a trip to Crystal Palace on May 24. All eyes will then turn to London as they aim for European glory.
