"Timber's injury is a big blow for the team because we signed him with clear intentions. He used to bring a lot of value to the team but he won't be able to do that again this year. We have to adapt. Unfortunately these things happen, we have to move on.

We are always open and we must be able to react to an injury in the transfer market. Hopefully, Zinchenko will be available soon. Gabriel Jesus is still unavailable, but hopefully he will also be back soon," Arteta is quoted by Football London.
