Arsenal could be without Jurrien Timber for their crunch clash with Paris Saint-Germain this week.<\/p>\n

The defender was a notable absentee for the Premier League<\/a> clash with Bournemouth<\/a> on Saturday – a match that the Gunners lost 2-1.<\/p>\n

Timber was spotted in attendance at the Emirates Stadium but after being left out of the matchday squad, questions were asked about his situation.<\/p>\n

While refusing to disclose exactly what the issue is, Mikel Arteta<\/a> did say that he wasn’t confident of seeing the star face PSG on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Asked if Timber could be fit for PSG, Arteta replied: “No. <\/p>\n

“Confident? At the moment, no, because he wasn’t able to play here and we played him for four days.”<\/p>\n

Asked what the issue with Timber is, Arteta replied: “I cannot tell you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Timber’s last outing was the Champions League semi final first leg with PSG last week.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old played 83 minutes of the game before being replaced by Ben White<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As a result it was White who started at right-back against the Cherries.<\/p>\n

Should Timber miss the clash at the Parc des Princes, it would be a bitter blow for Arsenal.<\/p>\n

The Dutch star has made 47 appearances in all competitions for the Gunners this term.<\/p>\n

In that time he has provided two goals and four assists.<\/p>\n

Arsenal will already be without Gabriel Magalhaes and Takehiro Tomiyasu<\/span> for the clash in Paris.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Riccardo Calafiori<\/span> will also miss the out after suffering a knee injury on international duty in March.<\/p>\n

Arsenal go into the game on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth after goals from Dean Huijsen<\/a> and Evanilson<\/span> condemned them to defeat.<\/p>\n

However PSG will also be looking to get back to winning ways after suffering a shock defeat to Liam Rosenior’s Strasbourg<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
