Ben White and Jurrien Timber have been the top two right-backs at Arsenal over the last few seasons, and they helped the Gunners to win the Premier League title last season. The defenders have been superb for Arsenal since they have been playing for them, and there have been issues around their fitness.
Both of them are superb players, but they are also injury-prone, with Arsenal often struggling with having either of them available to play. However, they are now both fit for the next set of matches as Arsenal looks to win as many of them as possible, and it is great news for the Gunners.
White on Their Availability
White has now commented on their availability and said via Football London:
“Obviously it has been different, because either me or JT has been injured. It’s always been, you have to play, you have to play. Now, it’s a different moment. We can actually get some rest as well. I am sure you will see the best versions of each of us.”
White’s comments reflect the relief within the squad, as having both defenders fit gives Arsenal a major boost. The pair’s quality is not in question, and their availability will be key in the coming weeks.

A Boost for Arsenal’s Defence
White and Timber are two solid players, so if Arsenal has them fit for many games, the team will be guaranteed wins as they have simply been two of the best defenders in England. The Gunners’ defensive record has been strong, and their availability will only strengthen it.
The competition for places will be fierce, but that is a good problem to have, and the manager will be pleased. The fans will be hoping both stay fit, as their partnership has been crucial. The coming matches will show their impact.
Arsenal’s ambitions remain high, and having both defenders fit is a significant advantage. The club’s depth is a strength, and the competition will only make the team better. The focus now is on the next match and the next three points.
