Arsenal has been handed what appears to be a minor injury concern after Ben White was spotted training with a knee brace.
The defender was a member of the team that beat Crystal Palace at the weekend as he played in the right-back spot.
Wilfried Zaha was a handful for him, and he had to be saved frequently by William Saliba.
But he remains one of Mikel Arteta’s trusted men and should still play in their next game if he is fit.
The Sun reports that he has been in full training, but in a recent picture out of the training ground, he was spotted with a knee brace.
This is not a good sight, but it doesn’t seem to be a serious problem.
The defender wouldn’t have trained if it was serious, and probably it is just for precautionary purposes.
Just Arsenal Opinion
White has been one of our finest defenders since he joined the club, and he did well as a right-back against Palace.
Although that is not his natural role, he would probably still play there until Takehiro Tomiyasu returns to full fitness.
He just needs to stay fit for the rest of this season, and there would surely be a role for him to play.

We made a mistake by signing White… he’s not good enough as a CB …we should be thanking God that Saliba is back
We didn’t make any mistake, Alot of players are overpriced, see cucurela, chiwel, raphina, maguire, lukaku, the list could go on and on.
Am telling you
His only flaw IMO is his being gentle and non physical nature while tackling.
Can’t believe the narrative of the article or the comments. He had a good game against one of the trickiest wingers there is, leave out the constant criticism.
If I was Arsenal looking to move a defender in it should be Gabriel. We can get higher price for him considering he’s young.
Man is too slow, his left is slow. Gives and puts his team mates under pressure. Let’s not get started on his positioning. The only advantage he has over Ben white is his Ariel ability. He has zero composure on the ball. His second half of his first season with us has returned. He needs to sort himself out real quick. Ben white for me, is the calmer and better defender but we are not ready for this discussion because of his price tag which by the was is no fault of his. Arsenal should stay clear of Pino, one player who after 1 season will be singing the home sick anthem. Spanish players hasn’t set the premier league on fire lately. We should look to sign a winger from Germany or France. These are more physical league, close to premier league.
It feels really good to have a fully fit squad. If there’s a chance we get kessie that will be exactly what we need to push partey forward. Kessie is a quality and with so much experience with someone so young at 24.
Gabriel slow? when he was the one doing all the tackling for white I wonder which arsenal you’ve watching all these while, I’m thinking it’s arsenal tula, and how do we sign kessie that just moved to Barcelona for free this season. Wake up your having another nightmare
Shkodran Mustafi was our last over-priced centre back signing that failed to impress. He also played right back and was often out injured. Is Ben White the next resurrection of Mustafi? I sincerely hope not.
