Arsenal handed timely defensive boost for Leicester game

Arsenal have been handed a timely defensive boost ahead of the Premier League clash against Leicester City on the road tomorrow.

The Gunners have been hampered by plenty of attacking injuries over the past couple of months. They are presently without four attackers in Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli with injuries.

However, they have received a boost on the defensive front with Ben White available after an extended three month layoff after knee surgery.

The Englishman has been working with the team in training in recent sessions, and is now fit to face the Foxes if required.

Manager Mikel Arteta is expected to handle him with extra caution. White could be restricted to cameo roles for the remainder of the month.

Arsenal are presently seven points behind Liverpool, who are top of the league. They have the chance to temporarily close the gap by beating the Foxes in the early kick-off.
