Latest Arsenal injury news as five miss Newcastle after Ben White update and Gabriel boost.
Before Arsenal’s Premier League match against Newcastle, Mikel Arteta gave
the most recent injury information on Ben White and Gabriel Magalhaes.
White was left out due to load management, while Gabriel suffered an injury against Liverpool,
thus the defensive pair missed the Carabao Cup victory against Preston.
White had recently returned from a four-week injury layoff and

with us and just see how he deals with pain, if he is moving naturally enough

surprised if the moment he starts training with us we don’t say
he is ready so hopefully soon.” Arteta has confirmed that the
Japan international will not return before the November international break,
meaning that Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney are also still sidelined due to injury concerns.
