Impact Tomiyasu isn't an option Saturday and remains a bit away from a return. There's no specific timeline on his recovery but that does mean that Tomiyasu will likely be out for at least another week. Tomiyasu will need to get back in full training before he's a real option for a return.

Out until break Tomiyasu (knee) isn't expected to return before the international break, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "I don't expect him to be available before the break unfortunately."

Impact Tomiyasu isn't expected to be an option before the international break, with the setback to his knee injury seemingly serious. It's not clear what the exact timeline is for Tomiyasu, but this same knee injury has now kept him out for all but a single match to open the season.

Impact Tomiyasu has missed two matches in a row since coming back from the international break, and seems to be struggling with a knee issue.

Gets some minutes Tomiyasu generated one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 3-1 victory versus Southampton.

Returns to bench Tomiyasu (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Southampton.

Impact Tomiyasu is back on the bench for Saturday's clash after making a full return to team training earlier in the week. The defender wasn't deemed ready for a start, so Thomas Partey slots into the XI at right-back.

Impact Tomiyasu is getting close to a return and could be back before the international break. The defender has been working back from a knee injury and progressing slowly, but seems to be in the very final stages. If he can get fit, Tomiyasu could be needed in some capacity immediately with Jurrien Timber (strain) and Ben White (knock) also in doubt.

Trains partially Tomiyasu (knee) trained partially and is in a decent spot in his recovery, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "He had partial training today and he looked good. He's progressing re...

Impact Tomiyasu is still out for a few more weeks but has seen huge progress in his recovery progress, as he has returned to partial training this week. He will likely still need around one to two more weeks before a return, probably being close to an option after the international break. He still has yet to make his season debut, so the club will hope he can be available as soon as possible.

Impact Tomiyasu is dealing with a knee injury, and while he's getting closer to a return, there's no specific timeline for his return. It seems the defender could be out significantly past the first international break. A return to training would be a good indicator of a timeline for his return.

Not ready Tomiyasu (knee) isn't available for Saturday's clash with Wolves, according to manager Mikel Arteta.

Impact Tomiyasu was held out of the squad for Arsenal's pre-season tour, and isn't fit enough to return. The defender will miss at least the opening match, and is in doubt until he can make a full return to training. Oleksandr Zinchenko should open the season in the starting XI with Tomiyasu out.

AUGUST 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Held out of pre-season tour Tomiyasu has been held out of the team's pre-season friendlies due to an injury, according to his club.

Impact Tomiyasu's injury woes continue, as after missing much of last campaign due to injury, he may now be entering the next season holding an issue. It is only known that he is dealing with a knee problem and is staying back in London to receive treatment, with a return date still up in the air. That said, this will be something to monitor, as there is only around a month until opening day.

Surprise starter Tomiyasu (undisclosed) is starting for Arsenal during Sunday's match against Manchester United.

Impact Tomiyasu is a surprise starter after being a doubt to make the squad in the buildup to the match. The defender starts his fourth straight match at left back for the Gunners.

MAY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful to play Sunday Tomiyasu didn't train Friday and is doubtful to face Manchester United on Sunday, manager Mikel Arteta told media during his pre-match press conference on Friday. "We have a few do...

Impact It's unclear what kind of issue affects Tomiyasu, but the Japanese defender could be forced to miss a pivotal match in the title race if he doesn't return to training Saturday. If that's the case, then Oleksandr Zinchenko or Jakub Kiwior could enter the starting lineup, as Tomiyasu has started in each of Arsenal's last three Premier League contests.

MAY 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Tuesday Tomiyasu (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Tuesday's match against Chelsea.

Impact Tomiyasu will miss no more time after being held out of the club's last match due to a knock. He should continue in a rotational role for the rest of the campaign now that he is fit, splitting time with Oleksandr Zinchenko as he has throughout the campaign already.

APRIL 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Held out due to knock Tomiyasu was held out from Saturday's 2-0 win against Wolves due to a knock, as manager Mikel Arteta told reporters, "He had a knock in the game [against Bayern Munich] and he had...

Impact Tomiyasu's reason for being absent Saturday is now clear, as he was dealing with a knock he picked up midweek against Bayern Munich in the UCL. Luckily for the player, it appears to only be a minor issue, as he could return against Chelsea on Tuesday or against Tottenham on Sunday. He will now hope that return does come this week, although he will most likely only line up on the bench once fit, only starting once in his past six appearances.

APRIL 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

First start back Tomiyasu had two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 1-0 loss against Bayern Munich.

Impact Tomiyasu returned to the starting XI for the first time since coming back from injury. The full-back getting the nod in perhaps the most important match of the season is a good sign that he's the top choice moving forward if he can stay fit. Jakub Kiwior was left on the bench throughout Wednesday's match.
