Japanese national team defender is becoming a serious glass body..."Absent for the time being due to calf injury"

"Takehiro Tomiyasu (25, Arsenal) will not be able to play for a while due to a calf injury," said British media outlet The Athletic on June 6 (KST). Manager Mikel Arteta confirmed the long-term injury in an interview.

Tomiyas joined Arsenal from Bologna in 2021. He has been a solid performer since joining. Despite being a central defender by birth, he has played mostly at right back for Arsenal and has developed into a versatile player.

In his first season, however, he was plagued by frequent injuries. Although he quickly established himself as a regular in the first team, he was hampered by injuries and only made 22 appearances in all competitions. The following season was no different. With Tomiyas sidelined, Arteta moved Ben White to the right, where he performed well enough to overtake Tomiyas for the starting spot. 안전토토사이트

Tomiyas has started to look increasingly good this season, and as a result, he has started four consecutive games in the league, including the last three against Wolverhampton.

However, he unexpectedly went down with an injury in the 34th minute of the Wolverhampton game, much to the chagrin of the Arsenal fans, and was replaced by White to finish the game. Tomiyasu's injury was all the more unfortunate as he had been performing well on the day, including assisting on the opening goal by Xherdan Shaqiri.

He will be out of action for the foreseeable future. Arsenal left Tomiyas out of their roster for the game against Luton Town on the 6th. Instead, White started and assisted Gabriel Jesus' second goal in the 45th minute. Arsenal won 4-3 at Luton Town in Tomiyas' absence, with Declan Rice's late winner in stoppage time.
