Ben White: out for the season, World Cup in doubt
This is a serious one. Ben White has a right knee ligament injury and is expected to miss the rest of the season (1) (2) (3) (5). The full extent isn't confirmed yet, but the initial prognosis is bad. He's also a major doubt for the World Cup this summer (1) (3).
White has been one of Arsenal's most consistent performers. Losing him now, with the title race still live, hurts. Tomiyasu and Timber are the likely cover options at right back.
West Ham 0–1 Arsenal: Trossard does it again
Arsenal won it at West Ham 0–1, with Leandro Trossard scoring the decisive goal (4). Three points on the road in a tight game. Exactly what was needed.
The result was overshadowed by the usual post-match pundit noise about Arsenal, but fans aren't interested in that. The win is what matters. Trossard earned a near-perfect 9+ rating from supporters in the fan ratings thread.
Women's team: Selina Cerci linked with a move
On the women's side, Germany international Selina Cerci is leaving Hoffenheim when her contract expires at the end of June (6). She's reportedly in contact with an English top club, and Arsenal are in the picture.
Nothing confirmed yet, but worth watching.
Fan reactions
The mood in the fanbase is split tonight. The West Ham win is being celebrated, with Trossard drawing particular praise and some fans putting David Raya among Arsenal's best performers of recent seasons. But the Ben White news has cast a shadow. The Ben White thread is full of warm messages from supporters, and the general feeling is gratitude mixed with genuine worry about the run-in without him.
