Ben White will miss the rest of the season with the knee injury he suffered against West Ham, but there is at least some encouragement over the severity of the problem.
Earlier this week, Arsenal confirmed that White would play no further part this campaign.
The defender was injured in a first-half challenge with Crysencio Summerville, with the club later confirming that he had suffered âa significant medial knee ligament injuryâ and would miss the remaining three games of the season, including the Champions League final on 30 May in Budapest.
Given the way the injury was described, there was understandable concern that the 28-year-old might require surgery, but that does not appear to be the case.
