Arsenal suffered a major injury blow when defender Jurrien Timber was filmed speeding up his recovery from a serious knee injury.

The 22-year-old Timber arrived in north London during the summer transfer window after moving to the Emirates Stadium from Ajax for £34m as Arsenal looked to accelerate their pursuit of silverware. But the defender was replaced by Mikel Arteta in the first game of the season against Nottingham Forest just 50 minutes after his Premier League debut, and it was later revealed that he had torn his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).

Five months later, the Gunners have released an update on Timber’s road to recovery from the long-term injury, having released a video of the player training in Dubai with the rest of his squad. The Dutch international worked with the ball without his teammates for the first time since the injury.
