Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, has given an update regarding the status of defenders Gabriel and Jurrien Timber. Both players were unavailable at the conclusion of last season and were also absent during Arsenal’s open training session at the Singapore National Stadium on Friday, as well as from Wednesday’s friendly victory against AC Milan. In his press briefing before the match on Friday, Arteta mentioned that both are nearing a return to play. He noted that Gabriel had a minor injury in training, and the team decided not to take any chances. “It is hoped that within the next week or so, he will be ready to train and play again… As for Jurrien, he is getting very close to that point.” He has nearly addressed all the important aspects we required following the surgery and during his rehabilitation period. “I believe that in the coming days, he will begin doing it once more.” Additionally, check out: Rice: Madueke is set to surprise a lot of people at Arsenal.
