MARCH 31, 2024 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Inks long-term contract Tomiyasu has signed a new contract with Arsenal to remain with the club until 2026, holding an option for the 2027 campaign.

Impact Tomiyasu will continue his tenure with Arsenal, as after joining the club in 2021, he has now signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with an option for the 2027 season. Since arriving in London, the defender has appeared in 55 league contests, registering one goal on 22 shots and three assists on 19 chances created to go along with 28 interceptions, 73 tackles and 87 clearances during his time with the team. He will most likely remain in a rotational role during the remainder of his new contract despite signing the new deal with the team, sharing time on the flanks of the defense with Ben White and Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Appears on bench Tomiyasu (undisclosed) is on the bench for Tuesday's clash with Porto in the Champions League.

Impact Tomiyasu had been in and around training in recent weeks and it seems that he's finally passed the final fitness tests to get back on the bench. The full-back will likely need to earn any significant minutes as the brilliant form of the defense could make Jakub Kiwior and Ben White hard to displace in the starting XI.

He will now hope to get back on the team sheet Tuesday to face Porto in the UCL.

Out Monday Tomiyasu (undisclosed) is out for Monday's match against Sheffield United.

Impact Tomiyasu is now missing his eighth match in a row, still not reaching full fitness from his undisclosed injury. The defender will now look ahead to Saturday's match against Brentford for a return, as he was a possibility against Sheffield but most likely didn't pass his fitness test in the build-up to the contest.

Questionable for Sheffield match Tomiyasu (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Monday's match against Sheffield United, as manager Mikel Arteta told reporters, "We have to wait and see, especially with the la...

Impact Tomiyasu looks to be close to getting back on the field after his long string of injuries, as he has only played once since Dec. 5, missing 13 matches due to a combination of injuries and his international duty during the Asian Cup. There is a chance the defender could start in his first match back, but after a long absence and with Oleksandr Zinchenko also possibly returning, that seems unlikely, with the defender probably just serving off the bench. However, he hopes to see the start in future matches, as before the injury, he had started in six consecutive contests, registering six interceptions, nine clearances and 10 tackles to go along with three assists on four chances created during that span.

Impact Tomiyasu was out of action for six matches before leaving on international duty which has seen him play just once in the club's last 11 Premier League and Champions League contests. Before suffering that calf problem, the defender had started six straight, in which he registered three assists, seven crosses (two accurate) and three shots (zero on target), and should be in contention for a spot in the starting XI once fully fit.

Makes appearance off bench Tomiyasu (calf) played 45 minutes against Fulham on Sunday but will now depart for the Asian Cup with Japan.

Impact Tomiyasu logged his first minutes since Dec. 2 against Wolverhampton, missing the previous six matches for Arsenal due to his calf problem. Ben White should continue to fill the right-back role while Tomiyasu is away on international duty. At a minimum, Tomiyasu will miss the club's next EPL clash versus Crystal Palace on Jan. 20, as well as an FA Cup match versus Liverpool on Sunday, but it could be longer depending on how far Japan goes in the tournament.

Impact While Arteta didn't provide a specific timeline for Tomiyasu to return to action, he probably should expect to be out of action for around 3-4 weeks.

In those appearances, Tomiyasu registered three assists, three shots (zero on target) and seven crosses (two accurate). Ben White figures to maintain the right-back role for the time being.

Eligible to return Tomiyasu will be in contention to face Manchester United on Sunday after serving his one-match ban.

Impact Tomiyasu could be in line to start Sunday's clash, especially with the departure of Kieran Tierney and the injury to Jurrien Timber (knee), though the returning Oleksandr Zinchenko figures to also be in the mix for the left-back spot. If Tomiyasu does start, he can offer decent fantasy upside given his ability to generate crosses and push the attack from the backline.
