A serious blow for Arsenal and the England national team. During the first half of the Premier League match against West Ham, defender Ben White was forced to leave the pitch due to injury. This situation is causing concern for Mikel Arteta and the national team's coaching staff. According to Goal.com reports .
The injury occurred in the 28th minute following a collision with West Ham player Crysencio Summerville. Ben White remained on the pitch clutching his left knee and, despite receiving medical attention, was unable to continue. The defender limped off the field.
In this situation, Mikel Arteta made an unexpected decision. Despite having defenders Cristhian Mosquera and Piero Hincapié on the bench, the coach brought on midfielder Martin Zubimendi. As a result, Declan Rice was moved from central midfield to right-back.
Expert Gary Neville reacted to this decision with surprise. He believes that moving Declan Rice from the center could negatively impact Arsenal's game. The team is currently in a tight title race with Manchester City, and Ben White's absence could be a major loss.
