Jurrien Timber provides Arsenal injury update as Mikel Arteta handed Lens boost.

Arsenal star Jurrien Timber has taken to social media to update fans on his ongoing injury rehabilitation process. The Dutch international was signed from Ajax during the summer transfer window, enjoying an excellent pre-season before delivering a solid display during his side’s Community Shield victory over Manchester City back in August.

However, the 22-year-old then sustained an ACL injury on his Premier League debut just a week later, a major blow to Mikel Arteta’s side. Now, Timber has posted a collection of videos and pictures on his Instagram, with one showing him jogging lightly on a treadmill.

In fact, when Takehiro Tomiyasu heads to the Asian Cup in January, Arteta will only have six first-team defenders at his disposal, one of those being Cedric Soares, who has made just one appearance this season.
