Jurriën Timber on Pain of Missing World Cup: 'Leaving My Brother Behind Was Very Difficult'

Arsenal defender Jurriën Timber has returned to the Netherlands national team after missing the World Cup due to an injury. Timber decided to leave the squad shortly before the tournament began, citing concerns about his fitness following a groin issue that kept him out for two months. He described the decision as difficult, particularly because his brother Quinten was part of the team. Timber missed both Euro 2024 and the World Cup, having previously played in one edition of each tournament. He watched the knockout matches from Miami to support his teammates while recovering.
