Mikel Arteta Hints On Jurrien Timber’s Return From Injury

Mikel Arteta has provided a positive hint on the fitness status of Jurrien Timber as the footballing season nears to a close.

Mikel Arteta revealed that Jurrien Timber’s fitness is a positive one as the young defender is set to complete the final stages of his recovery from an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Mikel Arteta added that although Jurrien Timber will not make it to the game against Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Molineux, he might make it to the subsequent matches.

Jurrien Timber joined Arsenal from Ajax Amsterdam in the summer and has not had his fair share of games due to his injury situation.

Mikel Arteta stated: “It is too soon. He’s going to play a game with the under-21s and after that, we will see better where he is, how he felt. ‘He looks really good in training but it’s that last step now. We need to have the certainty that he’s ready to go.”
