Arsenal fans will be deeply concerned by the club’s latest injury update
Arsenal fans are not the happiest at the moment. Well, for the most part, they’re pretty happy, especially considering their league position and their Champions League performances.
But there are still plenty of reasons to be concerned, and honestly, it makes perfect sense.
Over the past few weeks, more than anything, Arsenal have faced a decline in form, coupled with numerous injuries to key positions.
At one point, all of their attackers were out through injury, as well as their two starting center backs. Their star midfielder, Declan Rice, also had to miss out due to illness, as did Martin Odegaard, Riccardo Calafiori and countless others.
Yet Arsenal have managed to stay at the top of the Premier League as well as the Champions League – meaning a lot of credit goes to them.
Arsenal are doing very well with the number of injured players at the moment and to make matters worse, one of their most injury-prone players has a new injury update, which isn’t exactly fun.
Arsenal fans will be deeply concerned by the club’s latest injury update
According to Charlie Wyett, Ben White, who has only played eight games so far – most recently the win over Wolves this weekend – is suffering from yet another year-ending injury for White.
He will be absent four to six weeks, according to the journalist, and it will be a new setback for the career of the talented defender.
Obviously, this is not a good thing, especially for White, who has been dealing with these issues for a long time.
He’s clearly a great player, and he has this great synergy with Bukayo Saka every time he’s on the pitch, but it doesn’t happen that often anymore.
Of course, it’s also worth noting that even though White missed time, Jurrien Timber grabbed the opportunity with both hands. In fact, he took it with both hands and feet, as he is now an undisputed starter for Arsenal.
This isn’t good news for White, but it would also push him to come back even stronger from this injury. Arsenal are really, really lucky to have two right-backs talented enough to be full starters for the club.
One is more unlucky than the other at the moment, and all Arsenal fans are hoping that Ben White will be able to recover well in a month and stay fit for whatever happens to Arsenal after that.
