What happened. Jurrien Timber was spotted in training ahead of Arsenal's Champions League match against Napoli, suggesting he could be available for selection.

• Timber wasn't expected back until later this month but has progressed well.
• He was left out of the weekend squad despite being in contention.
• Arteta said Timber is in a really good place after weeks on the pitch.

“He's in really good condition at the moment, he's been a few weeks on the pitch and has been training with us, so he's in a really good place.”
