Jurrien Timber injury update from Mikel Arteta ahead of Chelsea match

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided a positive update on defender Jurrien Timber ahead of the upcoming match against Chelsea. Timber has been managing a persistent groin injury since March, an issue that previously prevented him from participating in the World Cup.

Arteta stated that the 25-year-old is in “really good condition” and has been training fully with the first team for several weeks. While Timber is progressing well, his availability for Sunday’s fixture remains uncertain. Arteta noted that a final decision regarding Timber’s participation will be made following Saturday's training session.
