Arsenal Fears Fresh Injury Setback for Takehiro Tomiyasu After Knee Issue Returns
Takehiro Tomiyasu’s injury woes continue to be a significant concern for Arsenal, as he faces another potential spell on the sidelines after suffering a setback in his recent appearance against Southampton.
The Japanese defender had just returned from a knee injury sustained in pre-season, but Arsenal now fear he has aggravated the same issue. This latest setback means he will be unavailable for the upcoming Premier League match against Bournemouth.
Tomiyasu’s recurring injury issues have put his future at the club in doubt. Reports suggest that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta might be willing to let him leave in the January transfer window, given his ongoing fitness struggles. Interest from Serie A giants like Juventus and Inter Milan could see Tomiyasu moving back to Italy if a reasonable offer is made.
In addition to Tomiyasu’s injury, Arsenal is also dealing with other fitness concerns as they head into the clash against Bournemouth. Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, and Thomas Partey have all picked up knocks, adding to Arteta’s selection headache. Partey had to play as a makeshift right-back in the previous match against Southampton, highlighting the team’s defensive issues.
Amid these challenges, Arsenal is reportedly scouting potential reinforcements. They have shown interest in Bologna striker Santiago Castro, who has been in good form recently, as well as looking for goalkeepers to potentially replace Neto as David Raya’s backup in the future. These moves suggest that the Gunners are already planning for the long-term and looking to bolster their squad depth.
