Ben White, the 28-year-old Arsenal defender, was forced off injured during the 1-0 victory against West Ham, while Ricardo Calafiori (23-year-old right-back) was rested due to a soreness. The England international was then a doubt for the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain on May 30. The English club confirmed the concerns in an official statement.
Further to Sunday’s match at West Ham United, subsequent assessments and specialist reviews have confirmed that Ben White has sustained a significant medial knee ligament injury, which will rule him out for the remainder of this season.”
This is a major blow for Arsenal and White, with their absence from this highly anticipated final. Not to mention the two crucial Premier League matches for the English title. We can only hope there will be no further bad news before this huge football event.
