TalkSPORT pundit Scott Minto has said that he is worried about the injury that Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber suffered against Nottingham Forest at the Emirates Stadium in North London in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Arsenal have got the better of Nottingham Forest 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League.
Eddie Nketiah opened the scoring for the Gunners in the 26th minute.
Bukayo Saka doubled the advantage for the North London club on 32 minutes.
Forest stepped up their game in the second half and halved the deficit through Taiwo Awoniyi on 83 minutes.
Jurrien Timber suffers injury during Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest
Jurrien Timber started the match for the Gunners.
The 22-year-old Netherlands international defender joined Arsenal from Ajax in the summer transfer window.
The youngster started at left-back.
However, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was forced to take off Timber on 50 minutes due to injury.
The youngster seemingly picked up a problem in the first half after a collision with Forest forward Brennan Johnson.
And soon after the restart, Timber went down grabbing his calf without any contact from anyone.
Scott Minto was following the match for talkSPORT, and the former Chelsea and West Ham United left-back thinks that it is a bad injury for Timber.
Minto said on talkSPORT (2:11pm, August 12, 2023): “Do you know what? It’s so innocuous, isn’t it?
“He just kind of twisted a little bit, turned. It can happen a million times in a game.
“The ball was coming to him, it was passed to him, but he literally just kind of stopped straightaway.
“That doesn’t look good, it really doesn’t look good.”
