\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed a fresh injury blow ahead of the Premier League clash against Everton on the road tomorrow.<\/p>\n

The Gunners returned to winning ways in the league last weekend with a 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Emirates Stadium.<\/p>\n

They were far from their best, but managed to get out of jail with the help of two own goals. <\/p>\n

Arsenal must turn up with a better showing at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, and ahead of the encounter, Arteta has revealed another injury setback.<\/p>\n

Ben White was substituted early in the first half against Wolves with a suspected hamstring injury. The news has been confirmed by Arteta.<\/p>\n

The Spanish tactician said that the \u00a350 million<\/a> signing is evolving well from the injury, but he will be out of action for the next \u2018few games\u2019.<\/p>\n

He said<\/a>: \u201cYeah, he\u2019s out. He\u2019s evolving well, it\u2019s not a major injury, but it will keep him out for a few games, I think.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to be [a major injury] and Ben is a really fast healer as well, so there\u2019s hope that we\u2019re going to have him in the next few games.\u201d<\/p>\n

Arteta went with a back four of White, William Saliba, Piero Hincapie and Jurrien Timber against Wolves.<\/p>\n

Riccardo Calafiori was suspended for the clash. Timber slotted in for the Italian at left-back as White continued on the right side of the defence.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, White suffered an untimely setback during a Wolves counter-attack, and he is now expected to be sidelined for some time.<\/p>\n

His absence means Timber is guaranteed to start in his preferred right-back role. Calafiori should return on the opposite end after serving his suspension.<\/p>\n

No more changes are likely in defence. Gabriel Magalhaes is edging closer to a return after a thigh injury, but the game will come too soon for him.<\/p>\n

Arsenal have shared the spoils in the last two meetings against Everton. They must beat the Toffees this time to preserve their two-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the table.<\/p>\n

Pep Guardiola\u2019s side are widely expected to beat West Ham United on Saturday afternoon. The Gunners have to respond with a victory in the late kick-off.<\/p>\n
