The talented defender has been in excellent form for Arsenal but was absent from their thrilling last-minute 4-3 victory over Luton on Tuesday night. Tomiyasu sustained the injury during the closing stages of the match against Wolves and is expected to be out of action for a considerable period.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta expressed his disappointment with Tomiyasu’s injury status after the Luton game, stating, “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.”
