Mikel Arteta faces selection dilemma in defence ahead of Southampton clash
Mikel Arteta is facing a selection headache in defence ahead of Arsenal’s game against Southampton at the Emirates on Saturday as the manager revealed he could be without both Jurrien Timber and Ben White. Timber was taken off at half-time with a muscle problem during Tuesday’s 2-0 win over Paris St. Germain in the Champions League whilst White has not trained this week as he recovers from the groin injury he aggravated against Manchester City. Riccardo Calafiori played the second half against PSG as an emergency right-back despite being naturally left footed, and with Takehiro Tomiyasu yet to feature this season and Oleksandr Zinchenko also out, Arteta could be forced to improvise again.
