Mikel Arteta Gives Injury Update on Bukayo Saka and Jurrien Timber Ahead of Key Matches
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided an injury update ahead of the upcoming clash with Crystal Palace, including news about Bukayo Saka and Jurrien Timber.
Timber was not part of the squad for Arsenal’s Premier League fixture against Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium. Arteta confirmed that the defender is dealing with a minor knock. With the Champions League semi-final second leg against PSG approaching, Timber’s fitness is now a concern, and it’s uncertain whether he’ll be available for the trip to Paris.
Meanwhile, PSG also face injury issues. Luis Enrique rested several key players in their league loss to Strasbourg, including Ousmane Dembele, who remains sidelined with a hamstring injury. His availability for the Arsenal match is still in doubt. Other PSG players missing the match included Donnarumma, Hakimi, Mendes, and Marquinhos, all given a break ahead of the European showdown.
