Arsenal injury latest and return dates – Ben White blow, Riccardo Calafiori update

Arsenal faces injury concerns ahead of their Premier League match against Wolves, particularly regarding players Ben White and Martin Ødegaard.

Arsenal is grappling with injury issues as they prepare for their upcoming Premier League match against Wolverhampton Wanderers following a recent FA Cup victory over Wigan Athletic. The team has seen a mix of injury concerns, particularly with defender Ben White, who was substituted as a precaution during the FA Cup match but has since reassured fans that he is fit for the next game. This alleviates some pressure on Arsenal's defensive line as they look to maintain their form in a crucial part of the season.

In addition to White, team captain Martin Ødegaard is also dealing with a knee issue that led to his absence in the match against Wigan. He suffered the problem while trying to clear the ball in a recent match against Brentford. Although he is experiencing some soreness, Ødegaard remains optimistic that the injury is not serious and should not sideline him for long, which is a positive sign for the squad as they navigate a busy schedule.

Lastly, Riccardo Calafiori, who has been a valuable asset for the team, was withdrawn shortly before the match against Wigan, raising concerns about his fitness. As Arsenal prepares for their clash against Wolves, updates on these players will be critical for the team's strategies and tactics, making it imperative for the coaching staff to manage these injuries effectively to maintain their competitive edge in the league.
