Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta gives Jurrien Timber injury update after Ben White blow

  • Mikel Arteta has indicated that Jurrien Timber has a “chance” to be fit for Arsenal's Champions League final on 30 May, despite the defender being sidelined for the past two months with a groin injury.
  • Arsenal are currently facing a right-back crisis, with Ben White also ruled out due to a knee injury, leaving the position vulnerable for their final Premier League matches and the European showpiece against PSG.
  • Arteta acknowledged the need to consider alternative players for the right-back role, with Cristhian Mosquera or Riccardo Calafiori potentially in the mix to fill in, to manage the threat from opponents like PSG's Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
  • The manager confirmed that the team is in a “really good state” emotionally and possesses the correct energy levels, focusing on their upcoming opportunity to move closer to the Premier League title.
  • Arsenal are just two matches away from potentially securing their first league title since 2004, with a victory against Burnley on Monday essential to maintain pressure on Manchester City in the championship race.
