Timber suffered a groin injury in March, but was still able to play when Arsenal lost the Champions League final on penalties against Paris Saint-Germain on May 30.
In the statement, it says:
“The 24-year-old defender has not recovered sufficiently from the groin injury to participate in the World Cup in a medically sound manner.
In consultation with the medical team, it has therefore been decided that Timber will leave the national team’s pre-season camp in New York after the match against Uzbekistan.”
Sunderland defender Lutsharel Geertruida has been brought in as Timber’s replacement in the 26-man squad.
