Arsenal are preparing for the final stretch of the campaign, with the UEFA Champions League final still to come, but one of the club’s key players has suffered an injury setback.
Details: According to information from David Ornstein, Ben White has sustained a knee ligament injury and will miss the remainder of the season. The 28-year-old England international is believed to have suffered damage to his medial collateral ligament.
The injury occurred during Arsenal’s Premier League clash against West Ham. However, the full extent of the problem has not yet been determined. As a result, it remains unclear whether he will be fit in time for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
England will begin their 2026 World Cup campaign against Croatia before taking on Ghana and Panama.
Reminder: Roma’s 32-year-old forward and Argentina international was not included in Argentina’s preliminary squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
