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.

Set to return for preseason White said his knee is feeling good and that he began training again last week as he continues his recovery ahead of Arsenal's preseason, the club announced.

Impact White suffered MCL damage that ended his season early and also cost him a spot at the World Cup, a setback coach Mikel Arteta had described as a long term issue at the time. He is reported to have made good progress in his recovery and appears confident heading into the buildup for the new campaign. The defender closed out last season with one assist and three clean sheets across 12 appearances, including nine starts. White is expected to be gradually reintegrated into full training as Arsenal's preseason continues.

'Not a big creator' - Declan Rice 'would suit playing right-back' regularly for Arsenal, says Paul Scholes

Done for season White suffered MCL damage in his knee and will miss the rest of the season, while also being unlikely for the World Cup, according to David Ornstein of The Athletic.

Impact White is going to miss the rest of the season, as many thought after he went down with a knee injury against West Ham, suffering from MCL damage. Unfortunately for the England international, this will also likely end his World Cup hopes, as a timeline for his recovery will likely take at least a month or two depedning on the damage and which recovery steps are taken. Jurrien Timber (ankle) is still working on a return of his own, so Cristhian Mosquera is a possible option to take duties at right-back. White ends his season with one assist and three clean sheets in 12 appearances (nine starts).

Huge injury concern for Arsenal & England! Ben White limps out of West Ham clash in first half with World Cup just a month away

Suffers knee injury White was forced off the field in the 28th minute of Saturday's match against West Ham due to an apparent knee injury.

Impact White would go down in the first half Sunday and was immediately unable to continue, suffering what appears to be a somewhat serious knee injury. Unfortunately for the defender, this is likely to end his season, as with only a few weeks left, a knee injury is likely to take that amount of time to recover from, and possibly even some more time into the summer for a full-back who has dealt with injury issues in the past. Jurrien Timber is still working on a return from an ankle injury, so Cristhian Mosquera is the likely replacement at right-back moving forward if White does indeed remain out.

Busy from right-back White generated one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 1-0 victory versus Atletico Madrid.

Impact White was excellent on both sides of the ball Tuesday. He didn't get involved with the goal, but he created a chance and took a shot while also sending in three crosses. He's an excellent option on both sides of the ball, but White tends to be more comfortable in his defensive duties, which suits the Arsenal gameplan perfectly.
