Sport

Promising Dutch star Jurrien Timber’s fitness status has been officially addressed by Arsenal, putting an end to recent speculations. Timber made a significant impact during Arsenal’s pre-season tour, quickly gaining the trust of both manager Mikel Arteta and the fans.

Consequently, he was granted a starting role in the season opener against Nottingham Forest. Unfortunately, a setback occurred during this match, causing Timber to sustain a knee injury. Various sources suggest that the former Ajax player might require a considerable amount of time to make his comeback. Recently, the Arsenal official website released a comprehensive update on Timber’s situation.

Timber’s injury is deemed rather serious.

“Jurrien Timber has undergone comprehensive scans, confirming a knee injury to his right knee. Jurrien will undergo a more detailed assessment with a consultant expert to evaluate the full extent of the injury.”

Arsenal can consider themselves fortunate as Oleksandr Zinchenko’s recovery is progressing, and he could potentially be available for the upcoming fixture against Crystal Palace. The Ukrainian player will be a reliable replacement for Timber in the upcoming matches.
