Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says defender Jurrien Timber is fit to start the Champions League final after recovering from a groin injury that kept him out for more than two months. Both sources report that Timber’s availability has been resolved ahead of the match, with Arteta confirming his readiness to be included in the starting lineup.
Timber had been sidelined since the injury, missing games during his recovery period. Arteta’s comments indicate that Timber has returned to full training and is medically cleared to play at the highest level in the competition’s deciding match. The announcement means Arsenal can consider him for the team’s defensive setup in the final.
No additional details are provided in the excerpts about the final’s date, opponent, or tactical implications, beyond Arteta’s assessment of Timber’s fitness to start.
