Hmm, can he really be back this fast?
Timberrrrrrrrrr!

HomeSteak No, but we can really need him to be back [gestures expensively] this much.
Besides that's the squad for the whole second half of the season. Maybe he throws in a match-winning block after coming on as a sub in extra time of the final (and does his other ACL in the process no doubt!)
HomeSteak think we're about as likely to see him in the CL as we are Casey, Butler-Oyedeji, Cooper, Jeffcott, Graczyk, Gower etc.
Jeffcott lol.
If Timber steps foot on to a pitch for us this season it would automatically be my favourite moment of the season. Love this player.
Take with a grain of salt:
Would be great to have him back at some point in March.
He’ll be like a new signing!
LANS!
If nothing else, it will be good that he will be fully back up to speed for the start of next season.
Pepe LeFrits LANS!
Henri?
GET IN
Gettting in this guy for the run in is like the anti-Saliba injury last season, it’s a good fucking omen/sign.
Can't wait for this guy to get back. I think a Timber-Gabriel-Saliba-White back line is going to be incredible.
Great news if it’s actually true this time!
He has been in training for a while now to be fair. Wouldn’t be surprised if he plays in a behind closed doors friendly during the break.
Not counting on him to play a significant role this season but hopefully he can get match sharp over the next few months with a few sub appearances here and there. Maybe a cheeky start or two. Then be ready to go next season at full capacity.

He shouldn't play any important role this season , maybe a few sub appearances in games we are comfortably in the lead or something. The injury he had means he can't walk into a game with the kind of intensity needed to make a meaningful contribution. He needs a good few weeks of gradual match play before we give him any serious minutes
Timber to score the winner in the CL final.
Sicario2 - Tier 1 if he doesn’t, he’s a failure
Was excellent in pre season but there are some doubts in my mind with him. Obvious one being any long term deterioration due to the injury.
Other thing playing on my mind is he still a fit for the style? We appear to have made a conscious move away from more technical defenders to having giant athletes who can play to instruction so well.
