Timber to miss World Cup
[Getty Images] Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber will miss the World Cup with a groin injury, with Sunderland's Lutsharel Geertruida called up as his replacement. Timber, 24, came on shortly after the hour mark in Arsenal's Champions League final defeat to Paris St-Germain. But before the final, Timber had missed weeks of action, last featuring on 14 March in the win over Everton. In a statement on X, the Dutch national side said: "Jurrien Timber misses the 2026 World Cup. "The 24-year-old defender has not recovered sufficiently from a groin injury to take part in the World Cup in a medically responsible manner. In consultation with the medical staff, it has therefore been decided that Timber will leave the national team's pre-camp in New York after the game against Uzbekistan. We're with you, Jurrien."
