Arsenal Confirm Ben White MCL Injury That Ends His Season and Rules Him Out of Champions League Final

The setback forces a defensive reshuffle before a title run-in that ends with the PSG final.

Overview

  • Arsenal said Tuesday that White sustained significant medial knee ligament damage and will miss all remaining matches, including the May 30 Champions League final in Budapest against PSG.
  • The right-back exited Sunday’s 1-0 win at West Ham in the first half with a knee issue and was later seen leaving the London Stadium in a brace.
  • Fabrizio Romano reported earlier Tuesday that more scans this week will guide whether White can be named in England’s World Cup squad.
  • Manager Mikel Arteta faces a selection change at right-back after using Declan Rice there in-game, with Cristhian Mosquera identified as the likely starter for the run-in.
  • Speculative transfer reports suggest White could depart in the summer, with links to Everton and Newcastle and Tino Livramento mentioned as a potential replacement option.
