Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has suggested that Jurrien Timber is set to be sidelined for the season after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury against Nottingham Forest, and has suggested football’s packed schedule is to blame.
Timber is set for surgery after limping off at half-time following a heavy challenge in the Gunners' opening-day win. He was not in pain and wanted to play on, briefly emerging for the second half but lasting just five minutes before being replaced.
