Arteta admitted losing Timber has left him scrambling to make a decision on whether or not to sign a replacement, indicating he could decide to use the players he has to fill the void left by Timber. "We recruited him with clear intentions and what he was bringing to the team was evident," Arteta told the press. "We didn't plan with this injury, so we have to assess now what the options are and the best way to get the best out of the players that we have. "My biggest challenge now is to get the best out of the players we have, I cannot control anything that is not here. We are always open and we have to be open to react if something happens, not only with an injury but the market as well, and that is what we are doing."
