Arsenal Lose Ben White for PSG Final, World Cup Participation Also in Doubt

Ben White is set to miss Arsenal's remaining matches of the season, including the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain. The defender was substituted during the match against West Ham two days ago. His injury is to his right knee, and according to "The Athletic," there are concerns about damage to his medial collateral ligament. If confirmed, this could also rule him out of Thomas Tuchel's plans for the World Cup.

This presents a significant problem for Mikel Arteta, as Jurrien Timber is also still recovering. White has started in each of Arsenal's last five matches, including both Champions League semi-final clashes against Atletico Madrid. Given this situation, it seems most likely that Krystian Mosquera will be repurposed as a right-back if Timber doesn't recover in time for the final.

Earlier this year, Tuchel recalled White to the national squad, marking his first appearance for England since the 2022 World Cup.
