Arsenal defender Ben White will not require knee surgery, but is still set to miss England's World Cup campaign.
The Gunners confirmed on Tuesday, that White had suffered a "significant medial knee ligament injury" during their 1-0 win at West Ham on Sunday.
White will be absent for Arsenal's final three matches, as they aim to win the Premier League and Champions League.
However, the injury-hit defender will not need an operation on his right knee.
The news will come as a welcome boost to both White and Arsenal, who are hopeful the defender can return for the club's preseason plans.
But the injury is expected to end 28-year-old White's World Cup prospects after he recently called time on his four-year international exile with appearances in England's last matches against Uruguay and Japan.

Thomas Tuchel is due to name his World Cup squad on May 22, with England's opening game against Croatia taking place on June 17.
White's absence will provide Mikel Arteta with a selection headache at right-back for their pivotal games against Burnley and Crystal Palace and this month's Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain, with Jurriën Timber also sidelined.
Timber has been absent for two months with a groin problem, and it is unclear if he will be able to play a part in the run-in. Cristhian Mosquera would be expected to deputise, while Declan Rice has also operated as an emergency right-back this season.
