Mikel Arteta, Arsenal’s manager, disclosed that Jurrien Timber is striving to recover swiftly before the season ends. Timber, who got injured in March during a match against Everton, has been out, causing concerns for Arsenal’s defensive lineup. Despite his absence, Timber is actively involved with the team and is eager to make a comeback soon.
Arteta mentioned that Timber’s progress has been positive, and the team is working hard to expedite his return. The manager praised Timber’s dedication during his rehabilitation, emphasizing his importance to the squad and the leadership he brings. Arsenal faces defensive challenges with Ben White out for the season due to a knee injury and Riccardo Calafiori nursing a concern after a recent match.
The team is uncertain about Calafiori’s availability for the upcoming game against Burnley, but initial signs suggest a minor issue. With defensive injuries mounting, Arteta hinted at considering Cristhian Mosquera as an alternative and stressed the need for tactical adaptability in the final weeks of the season. Arsenal is currently in a tight race with Manchester City for the Premier League title and is gearing up for the UEFA Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain on May 30.
