Arsenal Training ahead of Liverpool clash on 26th October

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has announced that Jurrien Timber has resumed training, raising hopes among fans after the Dutch international was spotted in a recent session’s background footage. The anticipation surrounding his potential availability for the upcoming match against Liverpool is high, especially given the significant depletion of Arsenal’s defensive lineup.

William Saliba is set to miss the game due to suspension, while defenders Kieran Tierney, Riccardo Calafiori, and Takehiro Tomiyasu are all out with injuries. Timber’s versatility—capable of playing at left-back, right-back, or center-back—could be invaluable for Arteta if he is fit to participate. With Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah known for his lethal left foot, Timber’s ability to fill the left-back role could prove especially beneficial.

Timber has been sidelined for over three weeks due to a persistent injury, raising concerns among fans and the coaching staff alike. Initial reports indicated that he was still not fully participating in training sessions as of last Friday. However, recent developments have brought a glimmer of hope.

Manager Mikel Arteta provided an update on Timber’s progress, revealing that he has started to engage in limited training activities. “Timber, again, it’s the first session that he could have some involvement,” Arteta explained. “He’s been out for a while, and we expected him to be further back than where he is at the moment. But, again, we have to wait and see (for Liverpool).”

This cautious optimism suggests that Timber is on the right track towards recovery. His potential return could significantly bolster the squad’s defensive capabilities, especially with the upcoming match against Liverpool on the horizon. Fans will be eagerly watching for any further updates on his condition, as his presence on the pitch could make a crucial difference in their tactical setup.

As Timber continues to regain his fitness, the team remains focused on maintaining their momentum in the league. The coaching staff will likely assess his readiness closely in the coming days to ensure that he returns to full match fitness before reintegrating him into the squad.

 

Fans quickly took to social media to express their optimism, having spotted Timber alongside youth forward Andre Harriman-Annous in the background of a team photo.

Despite this positive sign, Timber’s long-term recovery timeline appears to be in line with his omission from the Netherlands’ provisional squad for the November Nations League internationals. Dutch manager Ronald Koeman has already excluded Timber, possibly in line with Arsenal’s initial projections that Timber’s return would take longer.
