Soccer-Arsenal's Ben White Ruled Out for Rest of Season with Knee Injury

Arsenal said the 28-year-old defender has a significant medial knee ligament injury and is being managed for recovery before pre-season.

  • Arsenal confirmed on Tuesday that defender Ben White will miss the remainder of the season after sustaining a significant medial knee ligament injury during Sunday's 1-0 win over West Ham.
  • White was replaced in the 28th minute by Martín Zubimendi; the 28-year defender has endured recurring fitness issues, including hamstring problems and knee surgery last season.
  • The defender will miss the Gunners' final two league fixtures against Burnley and Crystal Palace, as well as the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain.
  • Arsenal are already without Jurrien Timber, sidelined two months with a groin problem, leaving Cristhian Mosquera to deputize, though Declan Rice has also operated as emergency right-back.
  • This injury threatens White's England World Cup prospects after his recent return from a four-year international exile, while Arsenal's medical team focuses on his pre-season recovery.
