Ben White - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Rotating in right-back spot White has started in four of the last eight games across league and UCL action, providing two assists over that period.

Impact White started the campaign as the main option in the right side of the back line, but since Jurrien Timber recovered from a goin injury, both players have been alternating starts. While the lack of consistent minutes limits White's upside, he has still made an impact through chance generation while benefiting from being part of one of the strongest back lines in Europe to rack up clean sheets.

The right-back also created three chances, providing consistent attacking support from his flank throughout the contest. He has now accumulated three assists, seven chances created, 15 crosses and 10 tackles across seven Premier League appearances this season. White has been alternating appearances across competitions since Jurrien Timber returned from injury, leaving the two defenders competing for playing time at right-back despite White's productive attacking contributions.

Not impactful in win White had one cross (zero accurate) and one clearance in Sunday's 1-0 victory versus Nottingham Forest.

Impact White recorded one inaccurate cross without attempting a shot across 66 minutes in Sunday's 1-0 victory at Nottingham Forest. He returned to the starting lineup at right-back and helped Arsenal control possession throughout the first half, although he struggled to provide the attacking penetration needed to break down Forest's compact defensive shape. White was replaced by Jurrien Timber midway through the second half as coach Mikel Arteta sought additional attacking impetus, with Arsenal eventually securing the victory through Noni Madueke's late goal.

Impact Just seven minutes after Leeds United's goal, White provided the assist that led to Riccardo Calafiori's equalizer. The Englishman additionally made four defensive contributions before being substituted in the 63rd minute. Jurrien Timber subsequently replaced him and saw the end of the game. White's contributions were encouraging following his recent groin injury, as he made his first Premier League appearance since September 12.

Makes starting XI White (groin) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Leeds United.

Impact White returns directly to the lineup after resuming training following a groin injury. The defender gets an immediate opportunity to rebuild his workload and compete for a larger role across Arsenal's back line. Right-back remains his most likely path to regular minutes, with Jurrien Timber his primary competition for that spot.

Impact White's expected return would put him back in the mix after his groin issue, though he may need some time to rebuild his workload before pushing for significant minutes. His versatility gives Arsenal another high-level option across the back line, with right back his most likely path to playing time. Jurrien Timber remains the primary competition for that spot, leaving White with a battle for minutes once he's fully up to speed.

OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to training White (groin) was present in Arsenal's practice Saturday after making progress in his recovery from a small injury, Nathan Ridley of the Mirror reports.

Impact White's return to training is an encouraging step after his groin problem, though it doesn't confirm that he's ready to return to match action, as his workload will likely need to build before he's back in contention. A full comeback would give Arsenal a stellar defensive option, with the versatile player recently proving helpful at right-back and likely challenging Jurrien Timber for that spot.

Impact White could reach one month on the sidelines despite being expected to play in the recent league clash with Brighton, but he remains unlikely to face a lengthy injury period. He started in five consecutive EPL of UCL matches before getting hurt, delivering one assist from a right-back position in that period. Jurrien Timber should continue to feature in that spot if White is forced to miss more time after the break.

SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Misses call Saturday White (groin) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Brighton.

Impact White has been unable to earn a place in the matchday squad despite coach Mikel Arteta confirming he was all good and expressing positivity ahead of the final training session following the groin issue that had kept him out of the recent Carabao Cup match against Ipswich Town. The club ultimately decided against including him for the Brighton fixture despite the encouraging update, leaving Jurrien Timber as the leading option at right back. His availability for the coming fixtures will be monitored closely after the international break, with Arteta having expressed confidence that his recovery was progressing well.

Impact White had missed the recent Carabao Cup match against Ipswich Town due to a groin issue picked up against Sunderland, an absence that had raised doubt about his availability given he had not been spotted in training beforehand. His likely availability now eases that concern, positioning him to reclaim his spot at right back for Arsenal. White will however need to compete for the role with Jurrien Timber who is also back from injury.

Out for EFL Cup tie White (groin) isn't in the squad for Tuesday's EFL Cup match against Ipswich Town.

Impact White picked up a groin issue against Sunderland last Saturday, and given the quick turnaround on this cup tie, it's not surprising to see him sidelined. White should be considered doubtful to play Saturday against Brighton in the Premier League, especially after he wasn't spotted in training Monday. No timetable has been announced for his return to action.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Not spotted in training Monday White (groin) wasn't spotted in Monday's training session and should be considered doubtful for Tuesday's EFL Cup match against Ipswich Town.

Impact White suffered a groin injury in the win over Sunderland on Saturday, and given the quick turnaround, it wouldn't be surprising if the defender ends up being sidelined for this contest. If that's the case, Jurrien Timber would be in line to see more minutes on the right side of the defense, with Cristhian Mosquera (hamstring) another option when fit.

SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers apparent groin injury White suffered an apparent groin injury in Saturday's 2-0 win over Sunderland, according to Jake Stokes of Football.London.

Impact White was seen holding his groin area toward the end of the first half and was subbed off during the break, with Jurrien Timber taking his place. Further tests will be needed to determine whether White will miss time, but if so, Timber should be the beneficiary at right-back, with Christian Mosquera (hamstring) another option when healthy.

Fully fit for Sunderland clash White is fully fit and available for Saturday's clash against Sunderland, according to coach Mikel Arteta. "He's fine."

Impact White was spotted limping off in Tuesday's 1-0 Champions League win over Napoli after creating three chances during the match, a scare that comes after three consecutive full matches at right back for Arsenal, including a strong defensive showing against Chelsea. His confirmed availability now eases any concern from that limp, positioning him to continue as manager Arteta's dependable option on the right side of defense until Jurrien Timber (groin) returns to full speed.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Delivers four crosses White generated four crosses (zero accurate) and two tackles in Sunday's 2-1 win against Chelsea.

Impact White registered four crosses, four clearances and one tackle won across his 90 minutes in Sunday's 2-1 win over Chelsea, completing his third consecutive full match of the Premier League season as Arsenal's right-back and contributing consistent defensive discipline against Chelsea's left-sided threat throughout the match. His consistent availability and reliability from right-back give manager Mikel Arteta a dependable option on the right side of the defensive structure.

SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Assists Friday White assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Friday's 3-0 win versus Coventry City.

Impact White kicked off his campaign with an assist from right-back. The defender tends to be more defensively-minded even as a full-back, but with this brilliant team any chance he creates has a good chance of being finished. White will have upside whenever he's in the starting XI, with excellent clean sheet chances as well.

Dream debut! £34m new boy Christos Tzolis scores as Arsenal sweep past Girona in pre-season opener

Assists in return to action White (knee) played 61 minutes and recorded an assist in Saturday's friendly game versus Girona.

Impact White has regained full health ahead of the 2026/27 season and could finally be an option if he avoids further injuries in upcoming weeks. The versatile player will likely compete for the right-back role with Jurrien Timber (ankle) and Cristhian Mosquera if there are no major roster changes in that position. Last season, White tallied 22 tackles, 21 interceptions and 47 clearances across 26 appearances between league, FA Cup and UCL action, but he was directly involved in just two goals, so the offseason assist could be an interesting sign for his attacking upside.

Back on pitch with teammates White (knee) is back in training on the pitch with his teammates during preseason to build his fitness, the club posted.

Impact White had suffered MCL damage that ended his previous season early and also cost him a spot at the World Cup, an injury that was initially described as a long term issue by coach Mikel Arteta. He finished last season with one assist and three clean sheets across 12 appearances, including nine starts, and his return to group training marks a positive step in his buildup as Arsenal continues its preseason preparations.
