Premier League club Arsenal has suffered yet another injury setback after Ben White, 27 underwent a knee surgery earlier this week.
The player is set to miss multiple matches as the timeframe for his return is unclear. It is however feared that Ben White will be sidelined for several weeks, weakening an already injury studded Arsenal.
White has been carrying a problem for several weeks with Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta explaining earlier this month that he had “a little issue, so we have to protect him.”
With White opting not to make himself available for England, the break from first-team football afforded Arsenal an opportunity to address the problem which has limited his involvement this season.
The defender was unable to start key games at Manchester City and Newcastle and did not feature at all against Paris Saint-Germain in October.
Arsenal’s manger, Mikel Arteta after drawing with Chelsea confessed he was praying to avoid any other injury problems as some key players have been sidelined due to injuries.
