Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed he must check Takehiro Tomiyasu’s fitness ahead of the team’s Premier League trip to Luton Town on Tuesday night.
“We took him off as a precaution [in the win against Wolves] so we will wait and see if we need to use him. We will decide tomorrow,” Arteta told https://ufabet999.com
“He’s a strong player and hopefully he’ll be ready to play.”
Tomiyasu has started each of Arsenal’s last four league matches, but suffered a calf injury in the 2-1 win over Wolves last weekend.
However, if Tomiyasu is truly not ready to play, there is still Ben White who is ready to return as a starter again. After recovering from injury, he played as a reserve for the last 3 games.
“Definitely, after the injury and the way we managed his playing time. He feels fully fit again,” Arteta added.
“He has played some games before. So he’s in good shape.”
