(Reuters) -Arsenal full back Jurrien Timber has undergone ankle surgery while centre back William Saliba will also miss the club's last game of the season with a hamstring issue, manager Mikel Arteta said on Wednesday.

Timber missed Arsenal's 1-0 Premier League win over Newcastle United last weekend, during which Saliba, who has more minutes for Arsenal than any other outfield player this season, was forced off due to injury.
