THE’Arsenal he was really hit by injuries. After Calafiori, Tomiyasu, Tierney, Odegaard, Merino and Timber the list grows further, with the addition of the latest unfortunate injured player Ben White. According to information gathered by ESPNthe English right-back raised the white flag with the English national team also because he would have already been subjected to aminor knee operation earlier this week.
The recovery time is still uncertain and depends on the success of the surgery, but the 27-year-old is expected to miss several games. According to the satellite broadcaster, at home Gunners there are fears of a stop of several weeks, but at the moment there is no official confirmation. In any case, it would be a significant challenge for coach Mikel Arteta, who at the end of the international break will face an intense return to action between the Premier League and the Champions League.
From the home game against Nottingham Forest on November 23, to the mid-week trip to Sporting Lisbon and then the visit to West Ham. Among other things, after Sunday’s 1-1 draw against Chelsea, Arteta himself admitted that he was “praying” to avoid further injury-related problems, after having already had to do without several players this season. Not exactly the best of issues for a coach to resolve, especially in a season from calendar so busy with commitments.
