Jurrien Timber nearing return to Arsenal training this week

Arsenal right-back Jurrien Timber is expected to return to full training this week after injury. His recovery would provide crucial support to a defense currently missing William Saliba, who will be out for months. With only one match per week remaining in August, Arsenal isn't under immediate pressure to rotate players. The team is also exploring potential signings, including a deal for Ezri Konsa, but Timber's return is seen as vital to maintain squad depth. Without Timber, Arsenal would rely heavily on Ben White, who has recently battled fitness issues.
