Arsenal defender Jurriën Timber has seen only 105 minutes of action this season following a significant groin injury he sustained in June.
The Dutch international admitted that he is still feeling the effects of the injury, which has led the coaching staff and medical team to proceed with extreme caution as they prepare him for a return to the pitch.
During the recent international break, Timber made two appearances for his national team, and he opened up about his physical condition.
I have to be very careful in my movements. Otherwise, there’s a risk of a recurrence, and that’s something I absolutely want to avoid. I want to play in every match and take part in every training session. But the physios are advising me on the best way forward, so I need to listen to them closely.
