Benjamin White (4)

No wonder Kiwior was not let go. We knew this might happen

might be another summer concentrating on defenders at this rate :xhaka: :henry2:

FFS, even if timber and Cala stay fit I’d have white starting over one of them.

Just not looking like our season.

He might not be in Arteta’s plans anymore but surely Tierney being back training is good in this scenario as a emergency option

Can Skelly play a bit there?

You’re asking too much.

It’s not alWhite.

This is quite a concern considering Timber’s and Calafiori’s issues.

Who would have thought we would face such issues with the defence going into the season with 10 good defenders lol

Even Tierney could play an important role in rest of the season at this rate :partey:

Maybe the situation was different over the summer and it only became clear more recently?

Has to be this. Surgery is always the last resolve. The medical team probably wanted to give it time to see if surgery could be avoided. Perhaps it flared up again after he played a few games and now surgery is the only solution.

What a rotten season we’re having with injuries.

Yeah, and I don’t think White trying to power through and apparently hiding injuries helped.

This is huge.

Such a boost before the tail end of the season. We haven’t missed him necessarily, but boy will it be good to have him back. Mr. Consistency.

Anything on Tomiyasu?

The last I heard is that he is back in Japan recuperating.

Finally some good news

White could need a while to get back to his best, will probs be rusty upon return.

But yeah, it’s better than nothing at least.

Shiiiit completely forgot about Benny Blanco, looking forward to seeing his shit housery antics again :grin:

We’ve definitely missed him. Would have been much easier to manage Timber and Calafiori minutes if we had a consistent White at RB

I’m excited for him to come back, I’m still sure our best back 4 has him in it.

Timber LB, White RB and Cala swapping in at times either LB or CB.
