Jurrien Timber leaves Arsenal training camp with groin issue
Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber has returned to London from the club's training camp in Spain due to a groin issue, the same injury that caused him to miss the World Cup. Timber missed two months at the end of last season with an ankle injury but returned for the Champions League final loss to Paris St-Germain. Sources insist the visit is part of his rehabilitation schedule and not a setback, and he is expected to rejoin the squad in Spain. Timber, Arsenal's first-choice right-back, played 30 Premier League games last season as they won the title. He joined from Ajax in July 2023 for £34m but missed most of his first season with a knee ligament injury. Arsenal face Manchester City in the Community Shield on 16 August before beginning their Premier League title defence against Coventry City on 21 August.
