The last thing that Arsenal needs is further injury issues after the absence of William Saliba has come at such a bad time for the club. With the open training session at London Colney today both Ben White and Oleksandr Zinchenko were absent according to Sky reporter James Green.
However, unlike Saliba, who was again missing from the session as he recovers from a back issue, the pair had reasons outside of injury for their lack of participation. Both White and Zinchenko played against Liverpool with the former completing the match whereas the left-back was replaced after the home side’s equaliser by Kieran Tierney.
With Takehiro Tomiyasu out for the remainder of the season, there’s extra emphasis on White staying fit for the final eight matches. Arsenal provided clarity however stating that both White and Zinchenko were completing sessions in the gym inside and that they were not missing the outside training due to injury.
