Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta may be able to call on a key defender in the coming weeks.
The Gunners are pushing to have center half and right back Jurrien Timber available soon.
Per The Mail, the Netherlands international may be ready for the last two months of the season.
Timber has not played since the opening weekend, when he went down with an injury against Nottingham Forest.
The youngster, who signed in the summer from Ajax, will be hoping to become a regular first teamer after he regains fitness.
Arsenal do have injuries in defense, which means the 22-year-old's return to fitness would be a welcome boost.
