Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed a fresh injury blow following the 2-1 Premier League win over Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Emirates Stadium last night.
The Gunners retained their two-point lead at the top of the table following a hard-fought win over Wolves. Ben White started at right-back in the game, but had to be substituted in the opening half with a hamstring injury.
Speaking after the game, Arteta acknowledged that there is ‘bad news’ on White who felt his hamstring rightaway. The Englishman could now be sidelined for a some period of time which should frustrate him.
White got a regular run at right-back recently. With the World Cup coming up next summer, he is running out of time to prove himself to England head coach Thomas Tuchel. The setback has come at the wrong time.
Arsenal face Everton on the road in next weekend’s league clash. They have received a boost for the game with Jack Grealish and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall having picked up hamstring injuries against Chelsea.
