Managing minutes after injury
White has been managing his minutes after returning from injury, and that has led him to little time to begin the season, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "It was an injury that kept him out for a few weeks, and we have to manage his load, and he didn't have the rhythm to do that. So the reason why he's not been playing is to manage that. He's in a good place now, he's been training more recently, and his feeling has been very good, and he will have minutes to play."
ANALYSIS
White has been back from his injury for some time now, but has yet to earn much of a role with the squad, starting in one of his two appearances since Sept. 16, earning 65 minutes of play. That said, the club has been managing his minutes and limiting the defender, ensuring he can maintain fitness after a setback to begin the season. It still appears the right-back is more of a rotational option behind Jurrien Timber moving forward, although he should receive more opportunities for minutes, especially if injuries occur in the defense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Extension looking closer
White and Arsenal are getting closer to agreeing to a new deal, according to ESPN.
ANALYSIS
Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Arsenal are close to agreeing fresh terms with the 26-year-old defender. His current deal runs until 2026 so there's no rush, but the Gunners want to reward the former Brighton star for his impressive form. White emerged as a center-back, but he has done a good job adjusting to the right-back position.
