Arsenal’s defensive lineup has received a significant boost as Japanese defender Takehiro Tomiyasu rejoins the squad. Manager Mikel Arteta now has more options at the back with Tomiyasu’s availability after a period of absence.
However, the Gunners will have to cope without Oleksandr Zinchenko for today’s match. The Ukrainian defender, who has been a key player for Arsenal in the Premier League, is currently dealing with a minor calf issue that has ruled him out of the squad for the day’s game.
Takehiro Tomiyasu, who has been sidelined, is now ready to contribute to Arsenal’s campaign once again. His return to fitness is timely for Arteta’s side as they continue to compete on multiple fronts.
As for Oleksandr Zinchenko, the Ukrainian international will be missed in the defensive unit, but the team will be looking forward to his swift recovery and return to action.
