Takehiro Tomiyasu - knee

Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu (26) successfully underwent surgery on his right knee injury on 19 February. He is expected to be sidelined until the end of the year.

Tomiyasu first sustained the injury during preseason and underwent surgery in August. After returning to full training, he made a brief substitute appearance against Southampton in October, playing just six minutes. However, due to ongoing knee issues, he required a second operation in February. Following the surgery, the Japan international has begun his recovery, with hopes of returning later this year.
