ARSENAL were dealt a massive blow in their Premier League season opener after Jurrien Timber went off injured.
The Gunners new-boy, 22, took a knock late in the first-half and just about made it through until the break against Nottingham Forest.
Timber emerged from the tunnel for the second 45, but just moments later he pulled up with an off-the-ball injury.
The £39million summer signing clutched his knee, was supported off the pitch by Arsenal medics and eventually replaced by Takehiro Tomiyasu at left-back.
