Mikel Arteta has provided the latest updates on the injury status of Arsenal's William Saliba and Jurrien Timber, with both players expected to be sidelined for an extended period. The information comes as part of a broader update on the team's injury list, which now includes nine players. Arteta confirmed that Saliba and Timber are both out of action, though he did not specify exact return dates (standard.co.uk).
The French defender Saliba and the Dutch full-back Timber were both part of the Arsenal squad that competed in the World Cup, and their absence could impact the team's defensive stability in the coming weeks. Arteta's comments suggest that the players may not be available for a significant portion of the season, which could force the club to look for temporary solutions in the transfer market (metro.co.uk).
Meanwhile, Arsenal is also keeping an eye on potential new signings, with interest in left-back Joaquin Seys from Club Brugge. The 21-year-old has been linked with several top clubs, including Manchester United and other Premier League sides, but Arsenal's pursuit remains active as part of their strategy to strengthen the squad (thesun.co.uk).
