Defender sustained ‘significant medial ligament injury’
Arsenal without both right-backs with Timber also out
Ben White’s World Cup hopes appear to be over after Arsenal said the England defender would miss the rest of the season owing to a knee injury sustained in their win over West Ham on Sunday.
White was forced off in the first half of Arsenal’s 1-0 victory and left the London Stadium with his injured knee in a brace. The Premier League leaders confirmed on Tuesday that the 28-year-old had sustained a “significant medial ligament injury” and would not feature in their final three fixtures, including the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain on 30 May.
“Our medical team are now managing Ben’s recovery and rehabilitation programme, with everyone fully focused on supporting the aim of Ben being ready for the start of our pre-season preparations,” Arsenal said in a statement.
