Jurrien Timber’s Injury Status:

Timber sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury against Nottingham Forest at the start of the Premier League season, sidelining him for a significant period. Making two appearances for the Under-21s in recent weeks marks his gradual return to action.

Although Timber may feature for the first team against Bournemouth after over nine months of absence, his starting role remains doubtful.

During his appearance on Frimmy’s Colney Carpool, Timber, picked up in a golf buggy after practice, hinted at a possible comeback. When asked about the session’s intensity, Timber responded, “Heavy, heavy, heavy,” indicating progress in his recovery.

In a video posted on Arsenal’s official website, Timber discussed his rehabilitation journey, emphasizing patience and a step-by-step approach to recovery.

With only 115 minutes of football played with the Under-21s, Timber’s readiness for first-team action remains uncertain. The final decision regarding his involvement will be crucial, with Arsenal’s limited games remaining in the season.
