Arsenal and England defender Ben White is set to miss the rest of the season after injuring his knee during Arsenal’s 1-0 win over West Ham. Multiple outlets report that the injury involves a “significant medial knee ligament injury.” White is forced off during the first half at the London Stadium and subsequently leaves the match in a brace. Arsenal later confirm that he will not play in their remaining fixtures, which includes the Premier League run-in and the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain on 30 May, according to one report. While at least one source says White will avoid surgery, all agree that his condition rules him out of playing again for the club this season. The injury also puts his hopes of appearing at the World Cup in doubt or ends those hopes, with outlets describing his World Cup campaign as likely over or set to be missed. The reports collectively indicate Arsenal are dealing with a defensive absence as they also face other right-back issues, including the unavailability of Jurrien Timber, depending on the team situation.
