Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided updates on the injuries affecting his squad ahead of this weekend’s Premier League match against Everton.

Ben White sustained a hamstring injury during the 2-1 victory over Wolves last Saturday.
Speaking about White on Friday, Arteta stated: “It’s not a serious injury, but I believe it will keep him out for a few matches.

The Brazilian defender is currently rehabilitating from a thigh/abductor injury sustained during the November international break and will not participate in the Everton match on Saturday.
He mentioned: “He’s working hard, as he always does when he’s sidelined, and he’s making great progress.
“He’s involved in pitch sessions, so he’s not too far away.
