Arsenal's White to avoid surgery, set to miss WC

Arsenal defender Ben White has suffered a significant medial knee ligament injury during the club's 1-0 win at West Ham on Sunday, but will not require surgery on his right knee. The 28-year-old is expected to miss Arsenal's final three matches of the season as they chase the Premier League and Champions League titles. Despite recently ending a four-year international exile with appearances for England against Uruguay and Japan, White is set to miss England's upcoming World Cup campaign.
