Timber’s been out since the beginning of the season with an ACL injury

He helped the Gunners win the Community Shield, before suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury against Nottingham Forest on the opening weekend of the Premier League campaign.

There were concerns that the 22-year-old’s spot at Euro 2024 would be in jeopardy and that he would be sidelined for the remainder of the season.

Nonetheless, after visiting the United Arab Emirates with his teammates, the 15-cap Netherlands international might be scheduled to return in the upcoming months.

Arsenal shared a series of pictures of the squad out in Dubai ahead of their return to action against Crystal Palace on January 20.

And Timber was one of those, with the ex-Ajax star, who made the move to the Emirates in a £40million deal, seen taking part in running and passing drills.

Fans were left delighted by the sight, as supporters hope for a strong second half to the season in Arsenal’s quest to win a first league title since 2004.
