Arsenal XI vs Wolves: Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Premier League today

Arsenal have Jurrien Timber on the bench for their Premier League clash with Wolves.

Timber has been out of action with a foot injury, but took part in training this week ahead of Wolves’ visit to Emirates Stadium and Mikel Arteta has confirmed he will be in the squad.

“Obviously he had a really tough period but he used it in a great way,” said the manager on Friday. “He managed to get a lot of things done and improve in many areas that, except for playing, he found really, really helpful.”

New signing Riccardo Calafiori settles for a place on the bench after only playing his first minutes for Arsenal last week in their Emirates Cup win over Lyon.

Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice both start against Wolves, despite helping England reach the final of Euro 2024 this summer and missing Arsenal’s tour to the US.

Fabio Vieira “looks better” after missing the win over Lyon with a hip injury while Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney are confirmed absentees with a “few weeks” until their return.
