The Defender is not the only celebrity who has been injured.

Ben White has been sidelined for months owing to injury by MIKEL ARTETA.

The top defender’s continued absence due to a knee injury is a setback for Arsenal’s title chances.

“Ben will be out for months,” Arteta stated. There have been a variety of difficulties. The situation has never been the same. Nothing has been getting better.”The player has to be protected at this point. Regretfully, it will take several months.White’s knee ailment, which also kept him out early in the season, required surgery.Despite making nine appearances this season, the right-back is expected to be sidelined until the new year.With just one victory in their previous five games, Arsenal is currently in fourth place in the rankings and is slipping behind rivals Manchester City and Liverpool.Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice are also doubtful for Nottingham Forest’s Saturday visit to the Emirates, adding to Arsenal’s injury woes.Leandro Trossard was also on the field following his forced departure for Belgium on international service, and both had “partial” training sessions.In the meantime, Riccardo Calafiori has missed five games after suffering a knee injury in October.

But Arteta said: “Riccy trained today. His rehab has gone really well. He will be in the squad.”

Takehiro Tomiyasu has only played one match this season amid a knee injury and remains sidelined.Arteta said: “He’s gonna be away now for a few weeks to continue with his treatment and change his environment a bit.

“He’s a guy that will work 24 hours to be fit and he feels terrible being out. Hopefully it can unlock him.”
