Jurrien Timber - Weeks away from return Timber (ankle) is progressing well but remains weeks away from a return, according to coach Mikel Arteta, per Football London. "I cannot be very precise with that. But Jurrien is p...

Impact Timber has been continuing his rehabilitation from the groin injury that ended his World Cup hopes with the Netherlands, and this update reflects steady progress even as a firm return date remains unclear. Being several weeks away from a return is not ideal news for Arsenal with the Premier League season fast approaching, and Ben White is expected to have a significant role to play at right back until Timber's return. Timber is expected to continue his individual program as the club monitors his progress through preseason.

David Raya - Resumes preseason training Raya returned to training Saturday for the continuation of Arsenal's preseason, having not played a single minute for Spain at the World Cup, according to coach Mikel Arteta, per J...

Impact Raya enters the new season as Arsenal's undisputed No. 1 after another outstanding campaign in which he recorded 19 clean sheets across 37 Premier League appearances and claimed a third consecutive Golden Glove as the club won the title. His consistency behind one of the league's strongest defenses gives Arsenal a reliable presence in goal, while his secure starting role leaves little concern over rotation. Raya's return is an important step in Arsenal's preseason preparations, and he is expected to continue building toward full match sharpness as the new campaign approaches.

Bukayo Saka - Back in training for preseason Saka returned to training Saturday for the continuation of Arsenal's preseason, according to coach Mikel Arteta, per James Benge.

Impact Saka returns to preseason after a productive World Cup with England, scoring three goals and adding three assists across seven appearances. The winger remains one of Arsenal's most important attacking players after injury spells limited him to 31 Premier League appearances last season, though he still managed seven goals and five assists as the club won the title under Mikel Arteta. His finishing, creativity and occasional involvement on set pieces make him a central figure in the attack when fully fit, while Declan Rice is expected to handle the majority of set-piece duties. Saka is expected to gradually increase his workload as preseason progresses.

Martin Odegaard - Back in training for preseason Odegaard is back in training with Arsenal for preseason after his run with Norway at the World Cup, the club announced.

Impact Odegaard was superb at the tournament, tallying four assists across five appearances before Norway's exit in the quarterfinals, a reminder of his creative ceiling as a playmaker who dictates play through the middle. He dealt with injury issues throughout last season, which limited him to 24 Premier League appearances and 16 starts with a modest one goal and six assists compared to previous campaigns. As Arsenal's captain and undisputed number 10 under coach Mikel Arteta, his vision and passing range remain central to how the champions build their attack when he's available. Odegaard is expected to build up his fitness during preseason as he looks to bounce back from an injury hit year.
