Jurrien Timber has taken another significant step towards a full return to training, providing a substantial fitness boost for Arsenal. The Dutch defender sustained a serious injury at the beginning of the season, keeping him sidelined since then.
Timber, considered one of Arsenal’s crucial recent signings, was a starter in the team’s opening league game of the season before his injury. Since then, he has been on the road to recovery, gradually working his way back to full fitness.
Recent developments suggest that Timber is now just weeks away from making his return. According to reports from Football London, he participated in a recent training session, engaging in some drills with the group. While he didn’t complete the entire training session, his active involvement indicates positive progress towards a full return to training and eventually competitive action.
Just Arsenal Opinion
It’s certainly positive news for Arsenal fans to hear about Jurrien Timber’s progress towards a return to full training. His impending comeback could indeed provide a significant boost to the team, offering fresh options and defensive reinforcement in the latter part of the season.
Timber’s anticipated return is akin to a January signing, providing Arsenal with added depth and quality for the remaining matches. It’s essential to manage his recovery carefully, ensuring that he returns to action when fully fit and ready to contribute effectively.

I suspect even whem Timber is physically ready Arteta wont play him again this season. In order to avoid a recurrence of his injury it would be best to wrap him up in cotton wool for next season.
OFF TOPIC!!
Has anyone realised we the Arsenal has beaten all 3 continental champions this season.
1 UCL Champions – Man City (twice)
2 EUROPA Champions – Sevilla (twice)
3 CONFERENCE LEAGUE Champions – West Ham
I’m not sure beginning training equates to a January signing- more like getting a new one for next season.
The article suggests he is at the early stages of a return and I wouldn’t want to rush him back. I’m sure medical procedures have improved over time but it’s a nasty injury to overcome
No need to push him to play this season but when he is entirely fit and well it will be very interesting to see where Arteta intends use him.With Ajax and Holland he has mostly been played at right centre back or right back and prior to moving to Arsenal the role of an inverted LB was completely foreign to him.Prior to his injury, he had the skills and pace to shut out potential danger men in one on one situations, but I doubt if the Boss will countenance such a role as our defensive set up is based on a zonal system particularly when Zinchenko is absent.I may be wrong but I have an inkling that Timber could do a very good job as a DM but time alone will tell In any event I hope to see lots of JT next season.
