Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has revealed Ben White will be out for months after undergoing surgery on a knee problem. The

27-year-old played in Arsenal’s draw with Chelsea before the international break, playing the full 90 minutes and making his seventh league start of the season.

However, during the two-week suspension, the Gunners opted to have White undergone knee surgery on the injury, with Arteta admitting it would be “a matter of months” but saying he was not certain.

“Unfortunately, Ben White will be out for months,” Arteta told สมัคร ufabet. “

It’s a different problem, it’s never been the same. We have to make decisions. He hasn’t improved in the last few weeks. We know Ben will push himself to the limit but there comes a point where we have to protect the player. “We

have made the decision to have the operation, he has agreed and that will keep him out for a few months. “

We have to see how he responds to the operation. I don’t think it’s going to be six months. But it’s not clear how long it will be.”

As for Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice, they have returned to training with the team after missing the England international for the past two weeks.

“Trossard looks fine. He trained this morning. Bukayo and Declan had their first training session today, trained in some sessions.”

There is at least some good news as Riccardo Calafiori will return to the squad for this weekend’s game.

“Richie trained today, his recovery is going very well. He will be in the squad.”
