There’s good news from Arsenal’s warm-weather training camp in Dubai, as Jurrien Timber has taken a big step forward in his recovery from the ACL injury he sustained in our first Premier League game of the season against Nottingham Forest.
The 22 year old is back out on the grass, detailed in a video on the official site, and while he is still some way from making his comeback, it’s a positive development for the former Ajax man, and for Mikel Arteta.
The Arsenal boss outlined last week how the injuries to Timber and Thomas Partey had derailed the plans he and his coaching staff had made with regards to the team’s style of play, so the fact he’s getting closer to availability is very welcome.
Reports that Partey could return to action inside three weeks are as yet unverified, while Fabio Vieira, sidelined due to knee surgery last year, is also present at the training camp – although the extent of his involvement isn’t fully known.
Meanwhile, Gabriel Jesus, who missed the FA Cup game against Liverpool after he felt something in the knee that required surgery at the tail end of 2022, was involved in the sessions which will alleviate some worries. Hopefully he’s fit and available when Crystal Palace come to visit next weekend.
Good
Well said.
Yes.
The best option is world class consistent Santiago Gimenez, who scores 20 plus goals every year. The mexican international has also so far scored an impressive 18 goals this season from only 16 games played. Westham are about to make an accepted bid of £52 million for the 22 year old striker. He scores everywhere he goes, both domestic, international and in Europe. If Westham beat Arsenal to this available striker then Arteta and Edu should be sacked. Arsenal have the money. FFP rules state that Arsenal being the second largest financial club in England, can spend up to £248… Read more »
I hope for your sake you don’t get sacked from your day job pal.
What if his day job is preparing the food in your canteen at work?
For what it is worth, whoscored.com has this to say about him:
Strengths -> Finishing
Weakness -> hold up play, defensive contribution and passing
Not our kind of guy.. Not our kind of guy 😂
Certainly not… for our kind of guy, check out Vlahovic (remember him?) scoring two absolute screamers for Juve last night.
Big, fast, scores from anywhere – and should cost a heck of a lot less than the 80m we were willing to shell out for him 2 seasons back!
This gave me a good laugh this morning, thanks!
Edu and Arteta should be sacked if they dont sign
>insert player name here<
It seemed a big blow to lose Timber when we did, TPs injury only compounding it. Perhaps we should look what Arteta has done reorganising the team as a job well done, just running out of steam the last few weeks. With players returning I’m excited about the 2nd half of the season that lies ahead.
Get us a striker to lead this amazing team period
I believe Jesus can still save us.
Amen
Crazy that with parteys injury record anyone would think he’d be useful. In either case, arteta wanted to play him at rb which is idiotic.
