Arsenal has faced several injury problems in their defense this season, and their situation may worsen after Timber and Gabriel sustained injuries during Sunday’s draw against Liverpool at the Emirates. Gabriel was injured following a clash with Darwin Nunez; he initially continued playing but was substituted by Jakub Kiwior in the 53rd minute as he couldn’t finish the match. Timber, making his first appearance in a month, appeared to aggravate his previous injury before limping off in the late stages of the game. When discussing both players with the media, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was unable to provide a specific timeline for their recovery.
Arteta commented, “We’ve done everything possible to speed up the recovery process. He [Timber] was incredibly eager. The team and medical staff have performed excellently. We gave ourselves the opportunity to compete, but I’m not sure how serious the injury is, if there is one. The same goes for Gabi. We’ll see how it goes.”
When asked about the severity of Gabriel’s injury, Arteta stated, “I don’t know, but he couldn’t run. I’m not sure what the issue is—whether it’s the knee or the ankle. They’re evaluating him now.”
After a promising start to the season, Arsenal has struggled to maintain their form and has dropped in the Premier League standings. They currently sit third, trailing leaders Manchester City by five points and four points behind Liverpool. Additionally, Arteta’s summer signing Riccardo Calafiori is sidelined with an injury sustained in last week’s Champions League match, and his return date remains uncertain.
The Gunners will return to action against Preston North End in the Carabao Cup round of 16 on Wednesday, October 30, with Arteta likely to make some changes ahead of their next Premier League match against Newcastle.
