Jurrien Timber missed the Netherlands’ 2-2 draw with Spain due to illness and will play no part in the return match this weekend.

Arsenal’s fitness concerns have deepened as defender Jurrien Timber has withdrawn from the Netherlands squad due to illness. Timber missed the Netherlands’ recent 2-2 draw against Spain and will not participate in the upcoming Nations League quarter-final second leg. Aston Villa’s Ian Maatsen has been called up as his replacement.

This setback adds to Arsenal’s growing list of fitness issues during the international break. Riccardo Calafiori, another Arsenal defender, suffered a knee injury while playing for Italy against Germany, raising doubts about his availability for the Champions League quarter-finals.
