Jurrien Timber to make Arsenal comeback after absence since August
Jurrien Timber, a 21-year-old Dutch defender for Arsenal, is set to feature in a Premier League 2 game for Arsenal’s under-21 side against Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park. Timber has been sidelined since suffering a severe knee ligament injury during his Premier League debut against Nottingham Forest last August.
However, he has made significant progress in his rehabilitation and has now returned to team training and is advancing to match play as part of his recovery. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has expressed anticipation for Timber’s return, stating that he will play a game with the under-21s and then they will assess how he feels and where he stands.
Arteta is confident that Timber, a £40m player, could feature before the summer and will be a key player for Arsenal in the long term. Fans are eager to see if Timber can become the versatile asset they hoped for this term.
