Arsenal star admits playing through agony ahead of crucial game
The defender admits he was battling a hidden injury during a key European match and needed surgery straight after the season.
www.sportingnews.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
- Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber disclosed he played through significant pain in key late-season European fixtures and then underwent ankle surgery after the season ended. This highlighted the club’s injury challenges and Timber’s willingness to push through pain for the team.[1][2][4]
- There have been ongoing injury concerns for Arsenal players over the 2024–25 period, including ankle/ muscular issues that contributed to a growing injury list and a “headache” for the squad’s defensive options as the season progressed.[3][5]
Notes:
- The sources above discuss Timber’s injury and surgery, along with general injury concerns for Arsenal during that timeframe. If you’d like, I can pull those sources directly and summarize exact quotes or timelines, or look for more recent updates from the 2025–26 season.
Would you like a concise bullet timeline of Timber’s injuries and Arsenal’s injury situation with links to the articles? I can also focus on injuries affecting specific competitions (e.g., Premier League vs. Europe) if you prefer.
