Full training participant Tomiyasu (calf) has resumed full training and could be an option against Crystal Palace on Monday. Manager Mikael Arteta told reporters, "I think it will be close. He's been traini...

Impact Tomiyasu has been out of action since Jan. 1 versus Manchester City, a stretch of eight games out of the squad due to his calf problem. In his last five appearances, the right-back has recorded 10 crosses (five accurate), two shots (one on target) and 10 clearances. As such, Tomiyasu figures to offer solid top-half fantasy value if cleared to play Monday.

Will miss Aston Villa match Tomiyasu (calf) is absent from Arsenal's game-day squad list to face Aston Villa Saturday.

Impact Tomiyasu will remain on the mend with a calf issue, although the coach suggested he is nearing a return. Cedric Soares is filling in at right-back.

Questionable against Villa Tomiyasu (calf) is in doubt for Saturday's matchup with Aston Villa. Manager Mikael Arteta told reporters, "There is a chance, but we don't know, again today in training we will se...

Impact Tomiyasu hasn't gotten onto the pitch since Jan. 1 versus Manchester City, a stretch of seven matches on the sideline. If cleared to play, the right-back should be capable of offering solid top-half fantasy value given his ability to rack up crosses from the backline.

Remains doubt to feature Tomiyasu (calf) is considered a doubt for Wednesday's match against Liverpool, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "We have been trying to push him, but with the handbrake a little...

Impact Tomiyasu suffered a recurrence of his injury a couple weeks ago, so it's not surprising that Arsenal are taking their time. Given the uncertainty on the situation, it makes more sense for him to completely rest until the international break, but he still has two more chances to feature before that. No matter, Cedric Soares is expected to remain in the XI for those next two matches.

MARCH 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not in match day squad Tomiyasu (calf) is not in Arsenal's match day squad for Sunday's clash against Leicester City.

Impact Tomiyasu hasn't played since January as he's dealing with a calf injury, and he will miss out on Sunday as well. Cedric Soares continues at right back in his place.

MARCH 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Could be option Sunday Tomiyasu (calf) could be an option for Sunday's match against Leicester City, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "We are taking some time to try to protect him and get him in the b...

Impact It's hard to see Tomiyasu starting after the latest quote from Arteta, but he could be available after missing the last couple months with a nagging calf injury. He returned to the bench a couple weeks ago but then suffered a recurrence, so his return will probably be gradual with Cedric Soares expected to remain in the XI.

MARCH 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Remains unavailable Tomiyasu (calf) is in doubt against Watford on Sunday after manager Mikel Arteta told reporters, "We are in the same place as last week, we still have a doubt over Tomiyasu but the...

Impact Tomiyasu has been sidelined since Jan. 1 against Manchester City due to his lingering calf problem. Considering the right-back has started all 16 of his appearances for the club this year, he should be considered a lock to be restored to the starting XI once given the all-clear. In those outings, Tomiyasu registered one assist, nine shots (two on target) and 29 crosses (11 accurate) and figures to offer solid mid-range fantasy value.

MARCH 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Wolves Tomiyasu is not in the squad for Thursday's match against Wolverhampton because of a calf injury.

Impact This isn't a great sign for Tomiyasu, who may have suffered a setback with his calf injury after staying on the bench against Brentford over the weekend. Cedric Soares has been playing solid, but Tomiyasu is the preferred option when healthy.

FEBRUARY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Available against Brentford Tomiyasu (calf) will be an option versus Brentford on Saturday. Manager Mikael Arteta told reporters, "The doubt was Tomiyasu, which is still not perfect, but he has trained the la...

Impact Based on Areta's comments, it would seem Tomiyasu may not be back to 100 percent and may be held in reserve off the bench. If he does start, the right-back should be in the mix to offer top-end fantasy value considering he has racked up 10 crosses (five accurate), two shots (one on target) and three chances created in his last five appearances.

FEBRUARY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Running on pitch Tomiyasu (calf) was shown running on the pitch Tuesday, pointing to at least another week out.

Impact It seems like Mikel Arteta was lying last week when he said Tomiyasu could be available for their match against Wolverhampton. Considering he's only running outside and not in training, it'll be another week until he's available again, if not more. Cedric Soares started in his place for the win against Wolves.

FEBRUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out Thursday Tomiyasu (calf) will be unavailable versus Wolverhampton on Thursday.

Impact Tomiyasu will miss his third contest in the club's last four contests due to his lingering calf problem. Once fully fit, the right-back should reclaim his place in the starting XI while Cedric Soares deputized in his stead. Whenever Tomiyasu does play, he should be a solid to-half fantasy target.

FEBRUARY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Could be option Thursday Tomiyasu (calf) is considered a late test for Thursday's match against Wolves, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "He had a recurring injury in the same place so we have to be care...

Impact This is somewhat of a surprising update following Arteta's quotes from before the break. But while Tomiyasu is training, that doesn't mean he's ready to start. He came back too soon from the same injury and that put him out a couple more weeks, so there's a chance he isn't risked immediately in the first match after the break.

FEBRUARY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Expected out few more weeks Tomiyasu is expected to miss a "few more weeks" with a calf injury, according to manager Mikel Arteta.

Impact Tomiyasu pushed through his calf injury in Thursday's FA Cup loss and it clearly was a mistake. He'll now miss a few more weeks, which could mean more starts for Ben White at right-back, though Calum Chambers remains an option to feature if Arteta believes he can do it.

JANUARY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Burnley Tomiyasu (calf) is not in the squad for Sunday's match against Burnley.

Impact Tomiyasu went the full 90 midweek and it probably was a mistake, so he's not in the squad a few days later. In his place, Ben White is pushed to right-back Sunday with Rob Holding taking over a central role.

JANUARY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns in Cup loss Tomiyasu (calf) started and went the full 90 in Thursday's Cup loss against Liverpool.

Impact Tomiyasu used the last week to recover from his injury, playing his first match since Jan. 1 because of a calf issue. It's unknown where he's at fitness wise and if he can start twice on a short week, but for now, it's assumed he'll be ready to start against Burnley on Sunday.

JANUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out with calf knock Tomiyasu missed Sunday's FA Cup defeat against Nottingham Forest with a tight calf, Arsenal announced before the game.

Impact Tomiyasu's injury likely isn't serious, and he will hope to be fit by next weekend's Premier League clash against Tottenham. Cedric Soares played at right back on Sunday.

JANUARY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns against Man City Tomiyasu (COVID) will start in Saturday's game versus Manchester City.

Impact Tomiyasu is back after a short bout with COVID and will get the nod right away. He has posted four chances, 11 crosses, five clearances and three tackles in his last five starts.

JANUARY 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tests positive for COVID-19 Tomiyasu is not in the team for Sunday's match against Norwich after he tested positive for COVID-19.

Impact Tomiyasu was injured and now he's tested positive for COVID-19, likely keeping him out the next week. Cedric Soares started the midweek Cup match, but he's not in the squad, either. Ben White is either starting at right-back with Rob Holding now in the XI or Arsenal moved to a different formation with three center-backs.

DECEMBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Cup match Tomiyasu (undisclosed) is not in the squad for Tuesday's match against Sunderland.

Impact Tomiyasu picked up an issue over the weekend and it remains unclear how bad it is. For now, he's out Tuesday and will be considered a doubt for the Boxing Day contest at Norwich. If he isn't ready to start, Cedric Soares will be the one to benefit at right-back.

DECEMBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Exits early Saturday Tomiyasu was forced off in the 64th minute of Saturday's match against Leeds with a possible injury after posting two fouls drawn and a couple interceptions. According to manager M...

Impact Tomiyasu didn't have to do much Saturday, as Leeds struggled from the start. The hope is that this isn't anything major, as he's been a great addition to Arsenal's back line. If he has to miss time, Cedric Soares is next in line to receive starts at right-back.

DECEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Three crosses in win Tomiyasu sent in three crosses (two accurate) during Wednesday's 2-0 win over West Ham.

Impact Tomiyasu got forward well from right-back, sending in three crosses and creating a single chance. The right-back hasn't gotten on the scoresheet too frequently but is still a solid fantasy option. Next up is a Saturday clash with a very poor Leeds side.

DECEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Logs assist, good defensively Tomiyasu logged one assist and won two tackles during a 2-0 win Saturday versus Newcastle United.

Impact Tomiyasu logged his first Premier League assist this year. Though the right-back does not supply value by contributing to goals often, he has been a serviceable defender who won seven tackles across Arsenal's last five games -- three of them clean sheets.
