London's Arsenal are once again facing defensive setbacks.

Details: In the Premier League's Matchweek 16 clash against Wolverhampton, Ben White picked up an injury and was unable to continue. Mikel Arteta was forced into an early change, bringing on Miles Lewis-Skelly in the 31st minute to replace White.

Following the enforced substitution, Jurrien Timber switched to right-back, while Piero Hincapié slotted into the center-back position.

This is not the first time this season that Arsenal's coaching staff has been forced to reshuffle the backline on the fly due to mounting injuries. Just recently, in the match against Brentford, central defender Cristhian Mosquera suffered an injury.

In addition to these players, Gabriel Magalhães, Kai Havertz, Max Dowman are already sidelined, and Riccardo Calafiori is suspended for this match due to yellow card accumulation.

It's worth noting that the score remained goalless at halftime.

Reminder: Arsenal striker Viktor Gyökeres was summoned to a Swedish court, but Arsenal refused to let him leave.
