Timber set for minor ankle operation

Jurrien Timber is set to have a minor operation on his ankle but according to the club, no date has been set yet for the procedure to take place.

Timber has been one of the standout performers at Arsenal this season and has made 48 appearances.

The 23-year-old missed the majority of the 2023-24 season with an anterior cruciate injury but this season his availability has been a big boost to Mikel Arteta, whose squad has been plagued with injuries to key players.

Timber has not featured in the past three Premier League games and last played against Crystal Palace on 23 April.

Arsenal secured their place in next season's Champions League after beating Newcastle on Sunday and finish their league season at Southampton on Sunday.
