π¨ TIMBER LEAVES ARSENAL CAMP - GROIN ISSUE OR JUST REHAB ROUTINE?
29 July 2026, 16:51
π THE FULL PICTURE:
Arsenal's first-choice right-back Jurrien Timber has headed back to London from the team's training camp in Spain. This move is linked to the groin problem that kept him out at the end of last season. Sources insist it's not a setback - just part of his rehab schedule. Timber missed two months last season with an ankle injury but returned for the Champions League final loss to PSG. Then a groin issue made him miss the World Cup. He's expected to rejoin the squad in Spain soon. Arsenal face Man City in the Community Shield on August 16, then start their Premier League title defense against Coventry City on August 21.
π MY TAKE:
Dude, this is a classic "we're not worried" situation. Timber's injury history is wild - ACL, ankle, groin. But if the club says it's just rehab, I'll take their word for now. Still, Arsenal fans are holding their breath. They need him healthy for that title defense. Praying this isn't a recurring nightmare.
