At a press conference before the match against Newcastle, Arsenal coach Arteta talked about the situation of Gabriel and Timber. The two missed the game at the end of last season, and did not enter the team's lineup against AC Milan in a friendly match, and did not participate in public training after the game.
In response to this, Arteta said: "Gabriel suffered some minor injuries in training, and we don't want to take any risks, and hope he can resume training and competition around next week."
"As for Timber, he is very close to making a comeback. After the surgery and recovery period, he basically achieved everything we asked for. I think he can start again in the next few days."
