Present at a press conference before Monday’s match against Sheffield United, Mikel Arteta gave an update on injuries. In addition to Oleksandr Zinchenko and Takehiro Tomiyasu, Thomas Partey is expected to return after his hamstring injury and more than 4 months without playing. “Thomas Partey should be in the squad on Monday. He did one session before the last match, now he has done two or three sessions. He is progressing well”, said the Arsenal coach. However, we will still have to wait for Jurrien Timber (22 years old).

The defender, recruited at a huge price last summer for 45 million euros from Ajax, only played the first Premier League match before treating his anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. The Spanish technician announces that his recovery is not for now: “Jurrien Timber is still not ready to be part of the squad, but the staff is very satisfied with his attitude and commitment. Jurrien is in the right direction, now we have to manage him.”
