Jurrien Timber is determined to “grow as a player”\u00a0and come back stronger from his latest injury setback.<\/p>\n
Timber suffered a groin injury in April that ruled him out for the end of Arsenal’s Premier League-winning season.<\/p>\n
He did return for the Champions League final, which they lost to Paris Saint-Germain, coming on in the 66th minute.<\/p>\n
He was then named in Netherlands’\u00a0squad for the World Cup but had to withdraw as he could not recover in time for the start of their campaign.<\/p>\n
Timber had enjoyed a strong campaign for the Gunners before his injury, playing 44 games and scoring four goals as well as providing six assists.<\/p>\n
The right-back also topped the charts for tackles won (50) among Arsenal players in all competitions, with only Declan Rice (91) attempting more tackles\u00a0overall.<\/p>\n
\n<\/blockquote>\nAnd though he is disappointed to miss out on a major tournament for his country, Timber is confident he will return stronger for Arsenal in 2026-27.<\/p>\n
“Unfortunately, it’s part and parcel of football,” he told Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf. “It’s a risk you take when you play at the highest level.<\/p>\n
“In my mind, I\u2019m already thinking about what’s to come. That’s why I’m taking a break right now. I think it’s good to step back for a while, rest and not have to do anything.<\/p>\n
“But at the same time, I’m already looking forward to showing how good I am and taking the next step. To grow as a person, but also as a player.<\/p>\n
“I’m actually really looking forward to that already. I just want to get well again as soon as possible, feel good and start playing football again.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
