Timber’s Arsenal form has been emphatic enough to make him the favorite to start at right-back ahead of Dumfries when Koeman wants a flat back four. His comfort stepping into midfield in possession also gives Oranje a buildup pattern they lacked at Euro 2024.

Strengths

Ball-carrying out of defence
1v1 defending in wide areas
Two-footed comfort across the back line

Recent form

Arsenal regular through 2025-26 PL campaign.

Identical twin of Oranje midfielder Quinten Timber — the only set of identical twins in this World Cup squad list, and reportedly indistinguishable to teammates at first meeting.
