Arsenal’s Injury Roulette: White Exits, Saliba Steps In, and Arteta Bets on a Risky Defense

Arsenal confirmed Ben White suffered a hamstring issue after a heavy spell of minutes, leaving his availability uncertain. Mikel Arteta admitted there were no better options as White exited early in the win against Wolves. The situation echoes prior injuries that forced players like Tomiyasu and Timber to push through pain. Saliba started, despite an ankle issue keeping him sidelined, and Kalafiore’s return from suspension could offer more defensive flexibility ahead of the Everton match.
