"Jurrien will undergo surgery in the coming days and will be out of action for a period of time.

He went down injured during the first half but returned for the second period before leaving the field in the 50th minute. It's another big blow for Arsenal, who were already without striker Gabriel Jesus. The Brazil international suffered a knee issue during pre-season, requiring a 'small' procedure, and is not close to making an immediate return. It remains to be seen how Timber's absence will impact Arsenal's transfer policy between now and the end of the window. Left-back Kieran Tierney had been attracting interest from the likes of Newcastle and Real Sociedad, but manager Mikel Arteta may now be tempted to keep the Scottish international around as cover.
