Arsenal’s recent triumph is marred by injury concerns, as Mikel Arteta reveals the extent of Takehiro Tomiyasu’s calf injury.

In the aftermath of Arsenal’s dramatic 3-2 win over Luton at Kenilworth Road, manager Mikel Arteta delivered concerning news about defender Takehiro Tomiyasu’s injury status.

In his post-match comments, Arteta’s tone was sombre as he revealed the extent of Tomiyasu’s injury. “We had a scan, and it’s not good news. He’s got an injury in his calf, and he’s going to be out for a while,” Arteta stated, confirming fears about the Japanese international’s fitness.

This update marks a significant setback for Arsenal, considering Tomiyasu’s increasing importance in the team’s defensive lineup.

The injury, a serious one in the calf, raises questions about the defender’s availability for the upcoming fixtures and the duration of his absence from the pitch.

Tomiyasu’s latest injury concerns surfaced after Arsenal’s recent victory against Wolves.

The defender was forced to leave the pitch in the 79th minute due to discomfort, just days after being substituted at halftime against Lens in the Champions League.
