Injury updates for Jurrien Timber and Gabriel Jesus were revealed today, and Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta shared a concerning update on the duo. However, Arteta hinted that both players might return to action sooner than initially anticipated.
Raheem Sterling was Arsenal’s final and unexpected signing of the summer transfer window. The Chelsea winger joined on a season-long loan, reuniting with his former Manchester City coach, Mikel Arteta. During their time together at City, Arteta played a key role in helping Sterling rise to become one of the world’s top attackers.
Since his move to Chelsea, Sterling’s form has dipped, but his switch to Arsenal offers a new opportunity for the 29-year-old to regain his best form and aid Arsenal in their quest for the Premier League title—something Sterling has won four times in his career.
Sterling recently expressed his excitement about reuniting with Arteta at Arsenal. In an interview with the club’s official website, he praised the manager's impressive work since taking charge and shared his eagerness to work with Arteta again.
Sterling believes that Arteta, who was instrumental in his success at Manchester City, could be key to Arsenal’s Premier League aspirations. When asked about the reunion, Sterling said, "He's a top guy, a top character. I've followed his journey since our time at City, and seeing what he's achieved at this great club speaks volumes. You can clearly see the fantastic work he's doing here."
