There has been much speculation about how long Jurrien Timber would be out of action for since he was devastated by an ACL injury in his Arsenal debut. There were recent repòrts from the Netherlands that supposedly revealed that the Dutchman had no chance of recovering ahead of this coming summer’s Euro2024 tournament.
But now Timber himself has come out with a much more positive outlook on his rehabilitation. “I’m making good progress,” he told The Breakdown Live. “It won’t be the whole season [out], I hope, I know it’s going well. It’s hard at the same time, but I’m doing my best, working hard, and just enjoying being busy.”
But the important thing as that he is settling into London and getting to know his team-mates better, and he had nothing but praise for the cameraderie he has enjoyed since his big setback. “It makes it easier, I see them every day on the training ground. I basically train the same time as them, it makes it easier,” he said.
“The boys are fun, it’s a young squad, and even the older guys are fun so I stay connected with them and I see them every day. For me that makes it so much easier to do my rehab well.”
“The moment I stepped in, I noticed it immediately; how warm the club is, how the connection is between the players and the club and the fans.
“It’s nice to be part of obviously, I think the moment I came in the first thing I noticed was that you just don’t have a lot of egos in this team.
“I said not a lot but I think no one has like a big ego and at the same time everyone is performing, so I think those that was the first thing that surprised me when I came in to this group. It’s still the same thing, I think everyone is still humble and hungry.
“I’m enjoying every game. Even though I’m not playing, I’m really enjoying it and the fans are amazing. The team is performing well.”
Great news, Jurrien. We all want you come back even fitter and stronger in time to help us secure the title!
How much do we love Tottenham today?…….

I remember very well when Holding and Bellerin who once played in the Arsenal defence back-line had a very serious ACL injury foe Arsenal. And which unfortunately sidelined each of them for a full season.
Before the 2 Arsena’s defence men suffered the big ACL injury, they were in top form playing at the top level for Arsenal. And was doing very well in the Premier League campaign at that time and was at the top of the table hoping to win the title. But which looked to be derailed due to the absence of Bellerin and Holding in the team defense-line.
And when the duo later returned to the team, they were not at the top level that they were at for Arsenal before they got injured with ACL injury. As the pair never recovered their once playing top form for Arsenal up to the time they left the club.
But hopefully, Jurrien Timber will not have similar ACL injury experience that Bellerin and Holding had for Arsenal. But Arteta SHOULD be on his guard to be proactive during the upcoming winter window. So as to avoid any failure in his Arsenal’s team back-line during the 2nd half of the season campaign,

So as to avoid any failure in his Arsenal’s team back-line during the 2nd half of the season campaign that could derail our title win quest this season like when it got derailed when Saliba was injured last season. But understandably, there was nothing Arteta can do other than to adapt as there was no transfer window to try to address the unfortunate situation.,
