Jurrien Timber finally returned to action in Arsenal's final game of the season against Everton.
The defender picked up an ACL injury in the first game of the season and was sidelined right up till the end of the campaign.
“I felt good after so many months of hard work, but on the other hand, we didn’t become champions today and that's sad. It's a hard one to take," he said after the final game.
“I just wanted to give some energy to the team. It was still 1-1 and there were still enough chances to win the game, so I tried to do that it's just a nice feeling to be back.
“That’s very important. I think it's a different feeling when you don't play any minutes.
"After getting injured after the first game, then what happened today, getting minutes even though we didn't become champions, it's just nice for me to go into the summer with some minutes. That's very important for me, it’s just my feeling.”
