Ben White World Cup Dream in Doubt After Season-Ending Knee Injury

Ben White is out for the season. The World Cup starts June 11.

The Arsenal right-back collided with Crysencio Summerville in the 28th minute of Sunday’s win over West Ham, left the London Stadium in a knee brace, and was confirmed out for the rest of the campaign. A medial knee ligament injury.

That puts his England summer in serious doubt. Less than a month to recover from an MCL injury before a major tournament is a significant ask, even in the best-case timeline.

White has been one of Arsenal’s most reliable performers all season. Losing him now — with two league games left and PSG waiting in Budapest on May 30 — is a blow that reaches well beyond the Champions League final.
