Arteta Provides Timber Fitness Update Ahead of Arsenal’s Sunderland Trip

1 / 2

Mikel Arteta says Jurrien Timber is close to returning as Arsenal prepare to face Sunderland in the Premier League on Saturday. The Arsenal manager said Timber has progressed well in recovery and will be assessed after the team’s final training session. He added that the defender could be available for this match or the next one. Arsenal have won their opening three league matches and can become only the sixth side in the club’s history to start a league season with four straight wins. However, Arteta expects a difficult test from an in-form Sunderland side. The Gunners are unbeaten in their last 15 Premier League meetings with Sunderland, though last season’s fixture ended 2-2 after a late Sunderland equaliser.
