Provides attacking spark off bench Timber had one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Timber recorded one chance created, one inaccurate cross and one interception during 24 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 1-0 victory at Nottingham Forest. He replaced Ben White in the 66th minute and immediately offered greater attacking penetration from right-back, combining with Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard before delivering a cutback that Declan Rice fired over from an excellent position. Timber helped Arsenal maintain pressure during the closing stages and contributed defensively as the visitors protected Noni Madueke's late winner.

Scores first goal of game Timber scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Lille.

Impact Timber got the party started for Arsenal in the second half to break a deadlock, opening the floodgates in what would be a 3-0 win. The defender just got back from injury, so Arsenal might ease him in and have him among the subs for Nottingham Forest. If he does play, he's unlikely to see much work as Nottingham Forest have scored just five goals in six EPL matches.

Workload still being managed Timber was not in training Tuesday with the Netherlands as he continues to return cautiously after an injury over the summer, according to manager Xavi, per Jeroen Kapteijns of De...

Impact Timber is still working on a full return to action following a groin injury this summer ahead of the World Cup, having yet to play a full 90 in his two appearances since returning. That said, his role during the international break with the Netherlands could be restricted, already having missed out on a group training due to caution. He should still see some time during the break as he ramps up his fitness, although Arsenal will be watching closely as they await the full return of their starting right-back.

Starts first game of season Timber registered two tackles (one won) in Saturday's 3-0 defeat versus Brighton.

Impact Timber won one of two tackles across 60 minutes before being replaced by Eberechi Eze, contributing zero clearances in a match where Brighton repeatedly found space behind Arsenal's right-sided defensive structure through Charalampos Kostoulas's movement. His replacement alongside Bukayo Saka signaled a significant tactical shift from manager Arteta as Arsenal sought to change the dynamics of a match already lost at 3-0. Timber was a starter for the first time this season after returning from a groin injury and will look to use the international break to build his competitive fitness.

Impact Timber came off the bench Saturday against Sunderland after Ben White exited with a groin injury, and the Gunners are looking to manage his workload -- he hadn't played since the UEFA Champions League final. This means Marli Salmon will get the start at right-back for Arsenal on Tuesday, whereas Timber could return to the XI against Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday.

Makes season debut Timber had one tackle (zero won) and two clearances in Saturday's 2-0 victory against Sunderland.

Impact Timber made his first appearance of the season after recovering from the groin injury that had kept him sidelined, replacing Ben White at halftime and completing 45 minutes without an apparent setback. He added one tackle and two clearances while helping Arsenal preserve the clean sheet during the second half. Timber's return gives manager Mikel Arteta another option at right-back, though he may continue to have his workload managed as he works back from the injury.

SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Available from bench Saturday Timber (groin) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Sunderland.

Impact Timber missed the Champions League opener against Napoli with a groin injury despite being included in the squad, but he has trained with the team for several days and is now back in the matchday squad. His return gives him an opportunity to build match fitness through limited minutes, and with Ben White currently ahead of him, a return to the starting lineup is more likely to come after the international break.

Impact Timber had missed the Champions League opener against Napoli due to a groin injury despite being included in the squad list, and this update now points toward a potential return for Saturday's match against Sunderland as he continues building back toward full fitness. Ben White is expected to hold the right-back role until Timber returns to full speed with the Gunners.

Remains unavailable Timber (groin) is out for Wednesday's match against Napoli.

Impact Timber is not with his team despite the defender making the squad list, as the Dutch right-back remains out due to a groin injury. The good news is that a return still remains close, potentially saving himself for a return in league play when facing Sunderland on Saturday.

Spotted in training Timber was spotted in training ahead of Arsenal's Champions League clash against Napoli, putting him in contention for selection, according to football london.

Impact Timber was expected to remain out until later in September after undergoing minor surgery over the summer, but his rehabilitation has progressed well enough for him to return to training with Arsenal. coach Mikel Arteta said last week that the defender had been training on the pitch for several weeks and was in really good condition, and his omission from the weekend squad appears to have been more precautionary. Timber could therefore be in contention for the trip to Napoli, although Arteta's latest update and the defender's involvement in training will provide a clearer indication of whether he is ready to feature.

Remains out against Chelsea Timber (groin) remains unavailable for Sunday's Premier League clash against Chelsea despite recently returning to team training.

Impact Timber has been back on the pitch for several weeks and has progressed to working with the group, but Arsenal have decided the Chelsea clash comes too soon for his return to competitive action. His continued absence leaves Ben White as the starter at right-back, a role he has maintained while Timber works his way back. Timber appears to be moving closer to a return, and his eventual availability will give manager Mikel Arteta additional flexibility across the back line.

Impact Timber had been making steady progress in his recovery, completing three consecutive weeks of on field work with a gradually increasing workload before this update on his involvement with the team. Ben White should continue to start at right back while the club determines whether Timber is ready to be fully reintegrated in time for the Chelsea match.

Impact Timber remains outside team training but has now completed three consecutive weeks of on-field work while gradually increasing his workload. The defender appears to be responding well to the latest stage of his recovery, with Arsenal planning another step forward next week if his progress continues without setbacks. Ben White should continue to start at right-back while Timber works toward rejoining the group.

Impact Timber's groin issue first surfaced toward the end of last season and required a minor surgical procedure, keeping him out of preseason and Sunday's Community Shield against Manchester City, and this update tempers earlier optimism that had suggested he could be close to rejoining the group. Ben White is expected to continue starting at right back in his absence as Timber works through the next phase of his recovery.

AUGUST 20 • ROTOWIRE

Could rejoin full training this week Timber (groin) could return to first-team training with Arsenal this week, according to Alex Howell of the BBC.

Impact Timber's groin issue first surfaced towards the end of last season and proved more serious than initially anticipated, ultimately requiring a small surgical procedure and a carefully managed rehabilitation programme that kept him out of Arsenal's pre-season and forced him to withdraw from the World Cup with the Netherlands after failing to recover in time. Manager Mikel Arteta ruled him out of Sunday's Community Shield against Manchester City but struck an upbeat tone on his recovery, saying Timber "is progressing really well," is back on the pitch and that the club is "ramping up now with certain actions and especially the volume and the load," adding he is on a good trajectory even with a few weeks still to go. That timeline has since accelerated, with now it been reported that Timber could return to full first-team training as early as this week. Assuming he comes through those sessions without any reaction, the next phase would see him progressively build up his training load before being cleared for matchday contention, given his importance as one of Arteta's most trusted defenders and with Arsenal already missing William Saliba for a few months, a clean week of training would put him firmly on course to be involved in the opening weeks of the Premier League season.

Impact Timber's continued absence stems from the groin injury that ended his World Cup hopes with the Netherlands, and this update reflects steady progress in his rehabilitation even as a firm return date remains unclear. 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.
