Football, Arsenal |  The main player leaves with illness for Arsenal

Arsenal qualified for the League Cup quarter-finals, but cost Mikel Arteta.

Arsenal – Leeds: 2-0:

Ben White, who has played hard in Arsenal’s defense recently, was forced to leave the field when the London side beat Leeds 2-0 in the League Cup on Tuesday.

At first it seemed like the midfielder had to go out due to injury, but since then it has emerged that it was due to illness.

The England international, along with Brazilian Gabriel, have formed a strong midfield duo in the Premier League in recent weeks.

Ødegaard out with injury

Fortunately, White’s replacement, Calum Chambers, who scored 1-0 for the hosts after 56 minutes, had his first touch on the ball.

Eddie Nkeitia doubled the hosts’ lead in the middle of the second half. The striker ran a weak back vertical from Liam Cooper, passed the ball over Ilan Meslier and put the ball into the goal.

With the exception of White, Pepé and Emile Smith Rowe, Arsenal started with a relatively reserve team. Martin Odegaard was expected to play time in Tuesday’s game, but the Norwegian was not in the squad.
