Mikel Arteta gives fresh Jurrien Timber injury update amid Arsenal hope ahead of PSG
Arsenal fans have received an encouraging update on defender Jurrien Timber’s recovery, with manager Mikel Arteta hinting at a potential return sooner than expected.
The Dutch international, who joined the Gunners from Ajax last summer, has been sidelined since suffering a serious knee injury on his Premier League debut in August. However, Arteta’s latest comments suggest Timber could be back in action in the coming weeks.
“Jurrien is progressing really well,” Arteta said in his pre-PSG press conference. “He’s been training hard, and we’re hopeful he can play a part soon. We have to be cautious, but his attitude has been exceptional.”
With Arsenal set to face Paris Saint-Germain in a crucial Champions League clash, Timber’s return could provide a major boost to Arteta’s defensive options. His versatility—capable of playing at center-back or full-back—would add depth as the Gunners compete on multiple fronts.
While it’s unlikely Timber will start against PSG, his imminent return is a positive sign for Arsenal’s title and European ambitions. Fans will be eagerly awaiting further updates as the 22-year-old edges closer to his long-awaited comeback.
