Mikel Arteta has shared a positive update on the recovery of Ben White following surgery to resolve a persistent knee issue that had troubled the defender for an extended period.

Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Arsenal defender Ben White is going to be out for “months” after undergoing a procedure on his knee during the international break.
