Not yet training with the group
Timber (groin) is not yet back in group training, with his return still a few weeks away, according to coach Mikel Arteta. "No, I said in the next few weeks. He's not training with the group yet."
Analysis: Timber's groin issue first surfaced toward the end of last season and required a minor surgical procedure, keeping him out of preseason and Sunday's Community Shield against Manchester City, and this update tempers earlier optimism that had suggested he could be close to rejoining the group. Ben White is expected to continue starting at right back in his absence as Timber works through the next phase of his recovery.
Could rejoin full training this week
Timber (groin) could return to first-team training with Arsenal this week, according to Alex Howell of the BBC.
Analysis: Timber's groin issue first surfaced toward the end of last season and eventually required a minor surgical procedure, keeping him out of Arsenal's pre-season. He was ruled out of Sunday's Community Shield against Manchester City, but manager Mikel Arteta said he was "progressing really well" and had returned to the pitch as the club gradually increased his workload. Timber's recovery now appears to be ahead of schedule, with reports suggesting he could return to full first-team training as early as this week. If he comes through those sessions without a reaction, he will then build up his workload before returning to match action, putting him on course to feature in the opening weeks of the Premier League season.
