Timber, who missed the entirety of the 2023/24 season due to a serious injury, appears to have been left out of the squad for the Bayer Leverkusen friendly today due to a load-bearing injury. Arsenal fans are eager to see him back in action after an impressive pre-season showing.
Although Timber's injury doesn't seem severe or long-term, Gary Jacob suggests that he may need to be managed carefully back to full fitness. The young talent's versatility in defense – able to play at right-back, left-back, or center-back – could offer valuable options for Mikel Arteta.
With competition in defense increasing following Riccardo Calafiori's arrival, Timber's recovery and return to form will be crucial for Arsenal. Despite not being a regular starter initially, his ability to cover multiple positions could earn him playing time in a challenging season ahead.
