Done for season
White suffered MCL damage in his knee and will miss the rest of the season, while also being unlikely for the World Cup, according to David Ornstein of The Athletic.
Analysis: White is going to miss the rest of the season, as many thought after he went down with a knee injury against West Ham, suffering from MCL damage. Unfortunately for the England international, this will also likely end his World Cup hopes, as a timeline for his recovery will likely take at least a month or two depedning on the damage and which recovery steps are taken. Jurrien Timber (ankle) is still working on a return of his own, so Cristhian Mosquera is a possible option to take duties at right-back. White ends his season with one assist and three clean sheets in 12 appearances (nine starts).
Suffers knee injury
White was forced off the field in the 28th minute of Saturday's match against West Ham due to an apparent knee injury. "We don't know but it doesn't look good at all. He needs some further testing."
Analysis: White would go down in the first half Sunday and was immediately unable to continue, suffering what appears to be a somewhat serious knee injury. Unfortunately for the defender, this is likely to end his season, as with only a few weeks left, a knee injury is likely to take that amount of time to recover from, and possibly even some more time into the summer for a full-back who has dealt with injury issues in the past. Jurrien Timber is still working on a return from an ankle injury, so Cristhian Mosquera is the likely replacement at right-back moving forward if White does indeed remain out.
