Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber broke his social media silence following an injury scare against Everton, sharing a supportive message for record-breaker Max Dowman as the Gunners prepare for a high-stakes Champions League clash.
Jurrien Timber has provided a subtle boost to Arsenal fans by surfacing on social media following a leg injury that forced him off in the 37th minute of Saturday’s win over Everton.
The versatile Dutchman shared a post celebrating 16-year-old Max Dowman’s historic goal, adding a heart emoji.
While Mikel Arteta was not asked for a medical update post-match, Timber’s activity suggests he is in good spirits ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League decider.
The injury comes at a perilous time for the North London side, who are juggling four competitions and an increasingly congested schedule.
Arsenal must navigate a 1-1 aggregate scoreline against Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday before heading to Wembley for the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City on Sunday.
With Martin Odegaard and Leandro Trossard also nursing knocks, Timber’s availability remains a “major doubt” for the upcoming European showdown at the Emirates.
