Mikel Arteta has given a positive update on the fitness of and Bukayo Saka ahead of Thursday’s pivotal north derby against Tottenham.
The influence of summer signing White has steadily grown over the course of his first season at following his £50million move from Brighton.
White, however, has missed Arsenal’s last two games having picked up a hamstring injury during the recent 3-1 win over .
Rob Holding has deputised ably in the 24-year-old’s absence but Aretta is hoping the England international will be in contention for tomorrow’s game.
Similarly, Arteta is optimistic that Saka, Arsenal’s top goalscorer this term, will feature after he limped off during the closing stages of Sunday’s narrow victory against Leeds.
‘With Thomas he is still out, Kieran is still out, Ben is a doubt. We’ll have to assess him he’s feeling much better and Bukayo is the same,’ Arteta revealed at his pre-match press conference.
‘It’s very difficult to rate with injuries, it’s just how they feel today, that’s the last day that we can assess them and try to get the feeling, basically.’
