Arsenal narrowly defeated West Ham this weekend, bringing the Premier League title at least within reach. But there’s also bad news ahead of the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain on May 30th. Ben White (28-year-old center-back/right-back) went off injured, while Ricardo Calafiori (23-year-old right-back) was sidelined with a sore. This was announced by manager Mikel Arteta to the press.
“Calafiori was injured, and Ben White’s knee injury is very worrying,” he said, as reported by Le Parisien.
This could be a major blow for Arsenal, leaving them without a key defensive option against PSG. It would be even more concerning if Calafiori doesn’t return soon. Nothing is certain yet, but we know that the final league matches carry risks as the final approaches. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that there won’t be any unpleasant surprises ahead of this big event.
