Arteta provides injury updates on Saliba and Timber
Mikel Arteta has provided injury updates on Jurrien Timber and William Saliba ahead of Arsenal's clash with Southampton this weekend.
“William is going to be out for a few weeks, unfortunately. He pulled his hamstring against Newcastle, so he's going to be out for a few weeks.
“Jurrien had surgery yesterday on his ankle, so he'll be out for a few weeks as well.”
“We've seen his progression, his development, and the standard that he's hitting at the moment,” Mikel added. “When you talk about those numbers, it's incredible. He's so much to learn and improve, so we have a player there for many, many years.”
“With Jurrien, you understand that he was coming back from an ACL one year out, and to have this season after an ACL, it's incredible,” he continued. “We didn't sign a player, we signed a leader, a very, very special character.”
