Jurrien Timber, a promising talent for Arsenal, is poised to stage a remarkable comeback as the team gears up to face Bournemouth in an upcoming Premier League fixture this Saturday.

However, Timber has been diligently working towards recovery over the past few weeks, showcasing his prowess with two appearances for the Under-21 squad, including a stunning goal against Blackburn Rovers. Despite hovering on the brink of inclusion in the squad for the recent North London derby, Timber had to settle for a spectator role.
Nonetheless, reports from The Evening Standard suggest that his much-awaited return to the Premier League might finally materialize against Bournemouth.
Expressing confidence in his readiness, Timber has demonstrated his fitness by completing 45 minutes against Blackburn’s Under-21s and followed it up with 70 minutes against Liverpool’s development team.
