Ben White facing at least a MONTH on sidelines after a hamstring injury.
Arsenal defender Ben White is set to spend at least a month on the sidelines after scans confirmed he suffered a hamstring injury. The setback is a fresh blow for the Gunners as the busy festive schedule approaches, with White expected to miss several key fixtures.
The England international picked up the injury during Arsenal’s recent Premier League victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, where he was forced off before halftime. Initial assessments raised concern, and further medical examinations later confirmed the extent of the problem.
Sources close to the club indicate White could be out for around four to five weeks, depending on his recovery and rehabilitation progress. Arsenal’s medical staff will continue to monitor the defender closely before setting a definitive return date.
White’s absence adds to Arsenal’s defensive challenges, with the club already managing multiple fitness issues at the back. His versatility across the back line has been a key asset this season, making his unavailability particularly significant.
With crucial league and cup matches coming up, manager Mikel Arteta is expected to reshuffle his defensive options to cope without White. Arsenal will be hoping the defender makes a full recovery as they aim to maintain momentum in the Premier League title race.
