Jurrien Timber injury news, latest update The latest Jurrien Timber injury news and update is that he did not train on Monday ahead of Arsenal's UEFA Champions League last 16 second leg against Bayer Leverkusen. That is a real worry for Arteta and Arsenal, especially with the League Cup final and huge games in the Premier League title race all coming up.
Arsenal's squad is deep but Timber is very important. He went down early in the first half on Saturday and stayed down for a while and received treatment. He then carried on for a few minutes but it was clear he was uncomfortable and he was subbed off by Mikel Arteta with Cristhian Mosquera on in his place at right back.
With full backs Ben White, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Piero Hincapie all on the bench, it was intriguing to Mosquera, usually a center back, came on to replace Timber. Timber's potential absence will likely see Mosquera come in to start at right back with Ben White's injury problems meaning he hasn't really got up to speed this season.
