The 24-year-old picked up a bruise during the defeat to Aston Villa and was subsequently ruled out of Wednesday&#8217;s Champions League match against Club Brugge. &#8220;They (Calafiori and Timber) had problems at the weekend, two really bad kicks and it was too early for Julien,&#8221; Arteta explained at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Timber is the latest injury on the defensive end, following injuries to Cristian Mosquera, Gabriel and William Saliba. As a result, Arteta was forced to use midfielder Christian Norgaard in central defense against Brugge. In a press conference on Friday, the Spanish manager suggested that Timber&#8217;s availability for the trip to Molineux remained in doubt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>What is being said about Julian Timber&#8217;s injury?<\/h3>\n<p>Asked for an update on Timber, Arteta said on Friday: &#8220;It depends on how he feels today. It was a shock what he picked up and he wasn&#8217;t comfortable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, I think we&#8217;ll get something done within a few days. But we&#8217;ll see if it&#8217;s tomorrow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Will Julian Timber be fit to play against Wolves in Game 16?<\/h3>\n<p>There is still no final verdict on whether Timber will be available for this weekend&#8217;s game against the Timberwolves. The FPL website currently assigns Timber a 75% feature probability, indicating he is likely to make some contribution to the match.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>When is the deadline for changes in Fantasy Premier League game week 16?<\/h3>\n<p>The deadline for changes for Gameweek 16 is 90 minutes before the start of the first game of the weekend. This week it will be held on Saturday at 1:30 p.m., with the first kickoff scheduled for 3 p.m. This finalizes the team and prevents further changes.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal currently lead the Premier League with two points ahead of Manchester City, with Villa in third place, three points behind.<\/p>\n<p>Securing a win in the West Midlands will be vital to maintaining an edge over our competitors as we head into the busy Christmas period.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/2145766\/jurrien-timber-arsenal-wolves-injury\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Julian Timber&#8217;s availability for Saturday&#8217;s Premier League clash with Wolves remains uncertain, with Mikel Arteta revealing the decision will depend on the defender&#8217;s mood.
