Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has admitted that he is unsure whether or not Ben White and Gabriel Magalhaes will be fit to face Newcastle United on Monday evening.
The Gunners endured a torrid Thursday, losing 3-0 to local rivals Tottenham Hotspur whilst Rob Holding received a first-half red card and Gabriel picked up an injury in the dying embers of the game. England international White is also a doubt for the match, failing to play a single minute since last month's 3-1 win against Manchester United.
Now, the north Londoners are just one point ahead of Antonio Conte 's Spurs and they travel to the northeast on Monday to take on Newcastle, who have won six of their last seven home fixtures, with Arteta delivering updates on the fitness situation of his two main centre-backs. "It's a good question", he told the club's official website when asked about the availability of the two centre-halves.
