Gunners fans had been looking forward to seeing Timber in action on a regular basis this term, but sadly, the Dutchman will now be out for an extended period of time. It’s very likely he won’t play again this year.
Timber took to Instagram to confirm the sad news.
He wrote: “Gutted to share my injury is more serious than expected, especially after the warm welcome I’ve received. I wanted to repay you on the pitch, which will not be possible for the forthcoming period.
“For now I’ll be supporting our team from the stands of course. Thanks for making me feel at home in such a short period of time, see you at The Carpet.”
