Ben White's ongoing injury issues have caused concern for Mikel Arteta, leading to his exclusion from the starting XI against Manchester City.
White notably played through pain last season, becoming a key player for Arsenal, which made his absence against a major opponent surprising for fans.
Charles Watts emphasized that White wasn't benched due to tactical reasons; his injury status necessitated caution and management from the coaching staff.
With the arrivals of Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori, Arsenal has bolstered their defense, allowing for flexibility in managing White's injury.
