"Timber has been an integral part of Arsenal's Premier League title challenge, and his recent absence coincided with a downturn in their fortunes."
"Since the defender's withdrawal, the Premier League champions-elect took just three points from a possible nine, lost the League Cup final and exited the FA Cup."
"Arteta revealed before the Gunners' Champions League semi-final first leg that a timeframe for Timber's return to action was still clouded in uncertainty."
"Timber's absence has seen Arteta deploy Ben White on the right side of his defence, which has led to renewed scrutiny of White's performances."
Jurrien Timber's groin injury has led to his absence from Arsenal's matchday squads for nine games, coinciding with a decline in the team's performance. Arsenal secured only three points from nine possible and lost the League Cup final and FA Cup. Timber's absence also affected the Netherlands national team during the March international break. Mikel Arteta has not provided a clear timeline for Timber's return, and Ben White has been used to fill the gap, facing scrutiny for his performances.
