Jurrien Timber, a recent addition to Arsenal, will miss the majority of the 2023–24 season after suffering a significant ACL injury.
The brilliant defender, who the Gunners acquired from Ajax for £40 million this summer, tore his anterior cruciate ligament against Nottingham Forest.
Following his transfer from the Eredivisie, manager Mikel Arteta gave the 22-year-old his Premier League debut against Nottingham Forest on the first weekend of the season.
However, the adaptable defender was taken off at the Emirates early in the second half due to a knee problem.
Since then, Timber has been put through a number of exams and scans as the club’s medical staff tries to determine the extent of the harm.
The Gooner Fanzine is aware that there are grave worries that Timber has torn his ACL and won’t be able to play for several weeks or even a few months.
Arteta, who has been impressed by Timber on and off the pitch since moving to the county, is very hurt by the terrible news.
