Arsenal's injury woes continue as Tomiyasu ruled out for season
Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2024-25 season after undergoing knee surgery. The Japan international has not featured for the Gunners since October, and the club has opted for a long-term recovery approach to ensure his full fitness. Tomiyasu's injury woes continue Tomiyasu's only appearance this season came as a substitute in Arsenal's Premier League win over Southampton in October. Since then, the 26-year-old has been sidelined with an ongoing knee issue. His absence adds to Arsenal's defensive struggles, with injuries affecting key players such as Ben White, Riccardo Calafiori, and Oleksandr Zinchenko. The defender took to Instagram to confirm the surgery and express his determination to return. 'I've had a surgery on my knee a few days ago and I've already started my rehab to do what I love the most again,' he wrote. 'It has been the toughest period in my career for sure and it carries on a bit more, but I won't give up.' A missed asset for Arsenal Tomiyasu, who has been capped 41 times by Japan, joined Arsenal from Bologna in 2021 and was a regular in his debut season, making 20 Premier League starts. However, persistent injuries have limited him to just 17 league starts since. His versatility across the backline has made him a valuable squad player for Mikel Arteta, who will now have to manage without him for the rest of the campaign. Arsenal will hope to have Tomiyasu fully fit for the 2025-26 season as they continue their push for silverware.
