Timber’s return
It’s been a long, hard journey for Jurrien Timber, who has seen his first season as an Arsenal player decimated by injury.
The Dutchman was signed as the Gunners’ long-term solution to their left-back problem.
However, he sustained an ACL injury within minutes of his Premier League debut.
But he’s worked very hard and has played some minutes for the Under-21s, and now, he’s in contention to help the Gunners in their quest for the Premier League title.

Incredibly, the Gunners have every single player fit and available.
The only player who has been struggling recently is Jurrien Timber due to an ACL injury suffered on the opening weekend of the season.
However, the Dutchman is now fully fit and is expected to be on the bench.
Meanwhile, the Cherries are without Ryan Fredericks, Tyler Adams and Luis Sinisterra.
There are also doubts over Chris Mepham.
Milos Kerkez is banned, but Antonie Semenyo avoided serious injury last week against Brighton and has a chance of playing some part.
