Ben White will miss the rest of the season with a medial ligament injury suffered in the first half against West Ham on Sunday, and is a major doubt for the World Cup 🚨
Declan Rice is expected to miss Arsenal’s match against Aston Villa on Tuesday evening after sustaining a knee injury in Saturday’s 2-1 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion.
Rice, who started the game at right-back, picked up a knee issue during the match but was able to play on and remained hopeful of being fit to face Villa.
Despite the best efforts of player and staff, Rice appears not quite ready, and it looks likely he will be left out in order to avoid the risk of aggravating the issue further.
While the full prognosis is not yet clear, the current expectation is that this will be a short-term absence.
