Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Jurrien Timber will be included in the squad for the upcoming match.
The Arsenal manager acknowledged that Timber has endured a challenging period due to injury but expressed his admiration for the way the defender handled the setback.
Arteta mentioned that Timber used his time away from the pitch wisely, working on various aspects of his game and personal development. Although Timber could not participate in matches, he has seen progress in several other areas, and Arteta believes this break has been beneficial for him.
Now, having made significant strides in his recovery, Timber is prepared and ready to return to competitive football.
Timber's absence was especially noticeable during Arsenal's Emirates Cup clash against Lyon last week, where he was not included in the lineup.
It was revealed that Timber was withheld from participation as a precaution, given that he had only recently recovered from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. The club was taking a cautious approach, ensuring that Timber had enough time to fully regain his fitness before rejoining the team in competitive action.
Now, with his recovery complete, Timber has returned to full training and will be available for selection as Arsenal prepares to face Wolverhampton Wanderers this weekend in the Premier League opener. His return to the squad marks an important moment for both the player and the team as they embark on the new season.
