An Arsenal expert has revealed an “even more worrying” situation for head coach Mikel Arteta to deal with after Gabriel Magalhaes was forced off vs Fulham. The Gunners had their first game after the international break on Tuesday night as they beat Premier League rivals Fulham 2-1 at the Emirates.

Mikel Arteta has revealed that Ben White is sidelined with a knee injury following Arsenal’s 2-1 win over Fulham in the Premier League on Tuesday night. White was not included in Arsenal’s matchday squad as goals from Mikel Merino and Bukayo Saka,

Even before the dust had settled on Bukayo Saka’s triumphant return, Mikel Arteta was no doubt already contemplating how to shuffle his injury-ravaged squad in light of another potential injury crisis.

Gabriel suffered a hamstring injury in the first half against Fulham on Tuesday calling into question his availability for Everton on the weekend and the Champions League quarterfinals against Real Madrid.

Statistically speaking, Arsenal’s offensive efficiency this season demonstrates that when White is on the pitch, the team's performance markedly improves. Notably, the Gunners have achieved a 67% offensive success rate from the right flank with White, but this figure dipped to 55% in his absence, emphasizing his importance.

Arsenal are already without Riccardo Calafiori, who suffered a knee injury on Italy duty last month and is expected to be out “for weeks”, while Ben White also missed the Fulham win with a knee issue.
