Arsenal defender Ben White has undergone a knee procedure for an injury he has been managing for the past 18 months.
The Arsenal account, which is famous for breaking news about the North London club on social media and is followed by the likes of Kaya Kaynak, Simon Collings, Charles Watt and Sami Mokbel on X (formerly Twitter), has claimed that the initial prognosis is around eight weeks out, but it could be a couple either side.
Arsenal are expected to officially announce that White has been operated on, and it is a huge blow for manager Mikel Arteta given how influential and reliable the Englishman has been since joining the club.
The 27-year-old has played 145 games for Arsenal since joining in the summer of 2021, and it first emerged back in March that he had been carrying a knee problem for much of the 2023-24 campaign.
