Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has admitted Ben White is likely to miss next weekend's clash with Manchester City.
White was a late withdrawal from the loss to Chelsea on Sunday after he contracted COVID-19.
Asked if White would be fit to face City next weekend, Arteta replied: "I don't think so, no."
He added: "I don't like to feel sorry for myself, it is the situation we are missing.
"I think everyone can see at the moment we don't have the squad that we want and it seems to be more difficult by the day.
"These young players are giving their maximum, it is their first or second time they are playing in the premier league and they are playing against a top, top opponent."
