"I think the rest of the team is the same because he's a player who has always played for us, and sadly, because of the right reasons, he wasn't playing that much. Because Jurrien [Timber] has been excellent, and he was out for a while, and then he needed to earn his place. But his attitude has been so positive, so good. Then, when you are ready, and you're given the opportunity, you take it like he did."
"Last week was a big week, and you need to follow up the following week, so it was really important to win. It's like any game that we win, it's so important for us, and we're just going to take it game by game. I've missed it."
"So I'm very happy that we have him back in the best version of himself as well, and we're going to need him because he's a tremendous player."
Ben White returned to Arsenal's starting XI and assisted Mikel Merino's 11th-minute opener as Arsenal beat Brentford 2-0 at the Emirates. White has struggled with injury this season and has often been behind Jurrien Timber in the pecking order, making just his second Premier League appearance of 2025-26. Each of White's last five Premier League assists has put Arsenal ahead, with three of those assists coming against Brentford. Mikel Arteta expressed happiness that White is back in strong form and emphasized the squad value of his experience ahead of the trip to Aston Villa. White said he is taking his comeback game by game.
