Arsenal defender Ben White may be facing a prolonged absence after reportedly undergoing surgery for a knee issue that has kept him out of recent games. White’s injury problems had already limited his appearances against PSG, Leicester, Southampton, and Newcastle, and he had to play through discomfort against Liverpool due to other defensive absences.
The Gunners have dealt with a shortage of fit defenders this season, as summer signing Riccardo Calafiori and Takehiro Tomiyasu have also been sidelined. With no confirmed timeline for White’s return, Arsenal may have to manage upcoming fixtures, including matches against Nottingham Forest, Sporting CP, West Ham, and Manchester United, without their key defender.
