Ben White, the 28-year-old defender for Arsenal, has been ruled out for the remainder of the season due to a significant medial ligament injury sustained during the team's 1-0 victory over West Ham on Sunday. The injury occurred in the first half, and White left the London Stadium with his knee in a brace. Arsenal confirmed that he will miss their final three fixtures, including the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain on 30 May. This injury not only affects Arsenal's title chase, as they seek their first league title in 22 years, but also jeopardizes White's chance to be included in England's World Cup squad, which will be announced next week. Manager Mikel Arteta is already dealing with other injuries, including that of Jurriën Timber, further complicating the team's preparations as they face Burnley and Crystal Palace in the league. Additionally, Crystal Palace has issued warnings regarding ticket sales for their final match against Arsenal, implementing enhanced security measures to prevent unauthorized ticket sharing.
