Arsenal's newcomer, Jurrien Timber, is bracing for an extended spell on the sidelines due to an unfortunate anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury suffered during the clash against Nottingham Forest this past Saturday.
Regrettably, his Premier League debut for the club was cut short. Amidst the disappointment, there is a glimmer of positivity.
Recent reports by James Benge indicate that the latest scans have ruled out significant damage to the Dutchman's meniscus. The injury appears to be isolated to the ACL, a scenario that typically translates to a recovery timeline of six to eight months.
The immediate future entails the 22-year-old undergoing a surgical procedure and a dedicated rehabilitation regime. The ultimate goal is to facilitate a potential return to the field prior to the culmination of the 2023/24 season.
Nevertheless, the Gunners have refrained from specifying a precise timeframe for his comeback. The injury saga unfolded during the club's victorious 2-1 outing against Forest on the inaugural weekend of the season.
Timber's abrupt exit, prompted by a knee issue following an awkward movement, was a blow for both the player and the team. In a noteworthy summer transfer, the defender embarked on a highly anticipated switch from Ajax to the Emirates Stadium, with the North Londoners investing a sum that could soar to 45 million euros in securing his services.
