Arsenal defender Rob Holding says there's no doubting the mental toughness of teammate Ben White.

Holding says White has been inspiring how he's overcome major injuries.

Speaking on Tea With Timbsy, Holding recalled: The player who has real discomfort and injuries and just cracks on is Ben White. I don't know how he does it. I have no idea how he does it.

When we played Newcastle away in the Amazon year (2021/22 season), he would have had a grade two/grade three hamstring injury easily.

His hamstring was shot to hell and he went out there and played.

He's a mentality monster, I don't know how he does it. It's mental.

He'll be in so much pain but he'll just trigger into game mode and play. He's die hard. He'll run through a brick wall for you."
