Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has admitted that Ben White remains a doubt for the Gunners for Saturday’s Premier League clash with Leicester City.
White was forced off early in the second half against Leeds in the Carabao Cup in midweek, having been suffering from the sickness bug that has affected a few players in the squad.
Arteta was initially hopeful that the centre-back, whose form has coincided with improved Arsenal results since settling down after a £50m summer transfer, would be okay for the weekend. But when he addressed the media on Friday, the boss explained there is still some doubt.
“It was a bit of sickness, and just tummy aches and things like that,” Arteta said, via Arsenal.com.
“[White] hasn’t trained yet, so again we’d have to wait for today to see how he’s feeling, and make the decision then.”
