Arsenal’s 2-1 victory over Wolves on Saturday was overshadowed by a significant injury blow, as key defender Ben White was forced to leave the pitch with what appeared to be a hamstring strain.
White, who had only recently returned to action following an earlier layoff, pulled up sharply while tracking a counter-attack during the Premier League clash. The injury is ill-timed, as it came on the same day defensive partner William Saliba made his return to the starting XI after recovering from an ankle issue.
The immediate consequence confirms White will miss the upcoming fixture against Everton.
Manager Mikel Arteta and the medical staff now face an anxious wait to determine the full extent of the damage and establish a recovery timeline for the England international.
