Timber missed large parts of the [2024–25 season](/source/2024%E2%80%9325_Feyenoord_season) due to knee problems, culminating in a ligament injury sustained in February 2025 that required surgery and ruled him out for the remainder of the campaign.[{{cite news |title=Feyenoord lose captain to knee injury for rest of season |url=https://www.reuters.com/sports/soccer/feyenoord-lose-captain-knee-injury-rest-season-2025-02-17/ |work=Reuters |access-date=24 January 2026 |date=17 February 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250222193410/https://www.reuters.com/sports/soccer/feyenoord-lose-captain-knee-injury-rest-season-2025-02-17/ |archive-date=22 February 2025}}] The injury occurred after Timber landed awkwardly during Feyenoord's [UEFA Champions League](/source/UEFA_Champions_League) play-off win against [AC Milan](/source/AC_Milan), and medical assessment confirmed the need for surgery on the outer ligament of his knee.[{{cite news |title=Feyenoord-aanvoerder Timber mist rest van seizoen vanwege knieblessure |url=https://www.nu.nl/voetbal/6346273/feyenoord-aanvoerder-timber-mist-rest-van-seizoen-vanwege-knieblessure.html |access-date=24 January 2026 |work=NU.nl |date=17 February 2025 |language=nl |trans-title=Feyenoord captain Timber to miss rest of the season with knee injury}}]
