Timber suffered a knee injury during his Premier League debut last August, forcing him off the pitch just 50 minutes into the game. He has since spent the last eight months recovering and building his fitness.
Despite this setback, Timber demonstrated his prodigious talents in the recent match, scoring an incredible goal that left fans eager to see him in action for the first-team. The Arsenal youngsters looked poised to secure a victory at Ewood Park, with Amario Cozier-Duberry doubling their advantage from the penalty spot.
However, Blackburn’s Harrison Wood and Junior Nsangou secured a draw with goals in quick succession. Following his return to action at Blackburn, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta expressed his eagerness to see Timber play for the first-team.
Arteta emphasized Timber’s need to gain match fitness before making a significant impact on the team. Despite this, Arteta remains optimistic about the impact Timber can make, based on his performance in training.
