EPL: Arteta Confirms Double Arsenal Injury Blow After West Ham Win
Arteta said both defenders need further tests after Arsenal’s 1-0 win restored a five-point lead over Manchester City.
- On Sunday, Arsenal secured a 1-0 victory over West Ham at London Stadium, but manager Mikel Arteta confirmed defensive injuries to Ben White and Riccardo Calafiori after the match.

- Leandro Trossard scored the decisive goal in the 82nd minute, maintaining Arsenal's five-point lead over Manchester City, though defensive absences complicate preparations for the final Premier League matches and Champions League final on May 30.
