Ben White was ruled out for the rest of Arsenal's season after sustaining a significant medial knee ligament injury in the match against West Ham. The injury also ended his hopes of being available for the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain and left him set for rehabilitation ahead of pre-season preparations.

Thomas Tuchel recalled White to the England squad for the first time since his earlier departure from international football, naming him for upcoming friendlies against Uruguay and Japan.
