Mikel Arteta will be sweating the fitness of both Ben White and Gabriel Magalhaes on Monday as Arsenal face Newcastle in a must-win game.
The Gunners travel to Newcastle with the knowledge that anything other than three points could cost themselves a Champions League place for next season after they were thrashed 3-0 by Tottenham on Thursday. Ben White was an unused substitute in that game as he is struggling to return to full fitness, and the Gunners winced further as Gabriel pulled up with injury late on.
Rob Holding's red card had already left Arteta short of defensive options after he was dismissed against Tottenham. But both White and Gabriel were absent in training, and will receive late fitness tests before Arteta determines whether they will face Newcastle on Monday.
