Jurrien Timber leaves Arsenal pre-season camp due to groin injury

Jurrien Timber has departed Arsenal’s pre-season camp in Spain to receive a check-up on a persistent groin injury. Timber has not been fully fit since March and missed significant time last season due to injury, including not participating in the World Cup. Sources indicate that his departure is part of an ongoing rehabilitation process and he has not suffered a new setback. Arsenal has several players facing injury as they prepare for the new season, including William Saliba and potentially Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, and Noni Madueke due to their World Cup commitments. Their first competitive match is scheduled for August 16 against Manchester City in the Community Shield.
