Arsenal right-back Takehiro Tomiyasu has been pictured back in training after recovering from a troublesome calf injury. The Japanese international last played for the Gunners in the 2-0 defeat to Liverpool in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final last month.
However, Tomiyasu took part in the match despite not being 100% match fit. It led to him suffering a setback that consequently meant he missed the matches against Burnley and Wolves.Despite the 23-year-old’s absence, Arsenal managed to keep clean sheets in both games. Ben White deputised on the right-hand side for the draw against the Clarets, while Cedric filled in, after returning to action following his own injury problems, at Molineux on Thursday.
It does look as though Tomiyasu will be available for selection when the Gunners play Brentford at the Emirates this weekend, as well as the second game against Wolves in as many weeks in ten days’ time.Meanwhile, Arsenal continues to monitor potential reinforcements in the transfer market. With injuries affecting key players, the club is assessing options for strengthening both the defensive and attacking units. Various reports suggest that Arsenal is keen on securing a prolific striker to enhance their frontline. Among the names being linked with a move to North London are Dusan Vlahovic, Victor Osimhen, Marcus Rashford, and Ivan Toney.
Manager Mikel Arteta remains focused on navigating the current fixture congestion while balancing the squad’s fitness levels. The return of Tomiyasu is a welcome boost as Arsenal aims to maintain their defensive solidity and push for positive results in the upcoming matches.Fans eagerly anticipate how the squad will shape up in the coming weeks, with transfer speculation growing and key players returning from injury. Arsenal supporters will hope for a strong second half of the season, both in domestic competitions and in their European campaign
