Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber is anticipated to be absent from the upcoming Carabao Cup fixture against Ipswich, according to Sami Mokbel. However, sources close to the club insist that his omission is purely precautionary, coming after his recent return from a significant long-term injury.

The update reassures fans that there are no new concerns regarding the troublesome groin injury that previously sidelined the Dutch international. This approach suggests a careful management of his workload as he reintegrates into competitive play.

Timber's return to action has been closely monitored, and while missing the Carabao Cup tie might be a slight setback for his full match fitness, the club's priority appears to be ensuring his complete recovery without rushing him back. His availability for future fixtures will likely depend on his continued progress and how he responds to the training regimen.
