Mikel Arteta provides Jurrien Timber injury update after Ipswich absence
Arteta said Timber has been carefully managed after a five-month layoff, with Arsenal using rotation to avoid overloading the defender.
- On Tuesday, Arsenal defeated Ipswich 4-2 in their Carabao Cup third-round clash at Portman Road, with Manager Mikel Arteta handing first starts to academy prospects Max Dowman and Marli Salmon.
- Arteta utilized his deep roster to rest key players like Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka, while managing Jurrien Timber's fitness to avoid overloading the defender following his five-month absence.
- Max Dowman broke the deadlock with solo brilliance before scoring a brace in the 47th minute, while Noni Madueke and Mikel Merino also found the net to maintain the Premier League champions' unbeaten start.
- Ben White missed the match with a groin injury sustained on Saturday, prompting Arteta to explain, "With some players, they were carrying some fatigue, some real issues."
- The Gunners now prepare for Saturday's Premier League trip to the Amex Stadium to face Brighton & Hove Albion, where Timber is expected to return if his recovery progresses without setback.
