Jurrien Timber


The Dutchman was left out of the squad for the 3-0 win over Club Brugge midweek after sustaining a minor injury.

Asked whether Timber would be ready to face Wolves on Saturday evening, Arteta was keeping his cards close to his chest:

“Depends how he feels today [Friday]. It was a knock that he picked [up] and he wasn’t feeling comfortable. Whether it’s tomorrow or not, we will see.”

Based on Arteta’s remarks, it does look like Saliba is more likely to make the squad than Timber.
