The new Arsenal man limped off the pitch in season's opener
Arsenal have expressed their fear that new signing Jurien Timber may be sidelined for a long time after sustaining a serious knee injury in season’s opening game against Nottingham Forrest.
The center-back was substituted midway through the second half with a suspected knee problem and further scans have suggested the injury might be more serious than first anticipated.
However, reports have suggested that a potential torn anterior cruciate ligament is not to be feared as the Gunners were initially worried.
Nevertheless, a lengthy absence from Timber will be a huge blow for Arsenal and Mikel Arteta as the Spaniard was full of praise for the way the Dutchman has adapted to life in England.
