Jurrien Timber’s participation in Saturday’s Premier League encounter with Wolves remains uncertain, with Mikel Arteta revealing the decision hinges on how the defender is feeling. The 24-year-old sustained a knock during the loss to Aston Villa and was subsequently ruled out of Wednesday’s Champions League victory over Club Brugge. “They [Calafiori and Timber] both had issues at the weekend, two really bad kicks and for Jurrien, it was too early,” Arteta explained at the time.

Timber became the latest defensive casualty following injuries to Cristhian Mosquera, Gabriel and William Saliba. Consequently, Arteta was compelled to field midfielder Christian Norgaard in central defence against Brugge. During Friday’s press conference, the Spanish manager indicated that Timber’s availability for the journey to Molineux remains in question.
