Mikel Arteta has offered a fitness update on Ben White following Arsenal’s 1-1 draw against Brentford on Saturday, April 12, 2025. The defender was notably absent from the matchday squad, prompting questions about his condition.
Speaking after the game, Arteta stated: “Ben White, we don’t know. He wasn’t in condition to make the squad today to be selected. We have a few days so let’s wait and see.”
White has been sidelined since undergoing knee surgery in November 2024. While the Arsenal boss previously confirmed the operation was successful and that White’s rehabilitation was progressing well, he stressed the importance of managing the recovery process carefully.
With the second leg of Arsenal’s UEFA Champions League quarter-final tie against Real Madrid fast approaching, White’s availability remains uncertain. Arteta’s comments suggest that a final decision on his return will be made in the coming days.
