Arsenal could be without both Jurrien Timber and Ben White for the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain after a fresh injury blow
Arsenal are hoping Jurrien Timber can be fit to face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final, after Ben White suffered a season-ending knee injury in Sunday’s win at West Ham.
White, 28, was substituted during the first half of the game at the London Stadium following a collision with West Ham’s Crysencio Summerville. Mikel Arteta cut a concerned figure in his post-match press conference and The Sun have since reported that White has sustained a Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) injury in his right knee.
It’s added that White is now expected to miss the rest of the 2025/26 season, including this month’s Champions League final against PSG, and is a doubt for the start of this summer’s World Cup with England.
With White out, Arsenal want Timber to return in time to face PSG in Budapest on Saturday, May 30. The Mirror said on Monday that the Dutchman, 24, hoping to at least make a push to see if he can train this week and then step up to see if he can be fit for the Champions League final.
Timber has missed the last 12 matches for Arsenal after picking up a groin injury in the 2-0 win against Everton in mid-March. Although White has impressed in his absence at right-back, Timber has been a huge miss.
