Arsenal fans were in for a treat earlier today when the club posted new footage of Takehiro Tomiyasu in full training after returning from injury.
The Gunners uploaded a video to their official website showing the Japanese international at London Colney in training. Tomiyasu has missed the last few games for Arsenal due to injury.
The defender was out for Thursday’s win against Wolves whilst Tomiyasu also missed Arsenal’s 0-0 draw against Burnley due to injury, with the right-back now looking likely to return for this Saturday’s clash against Brentford.
The 23-year-old fullback has established himself as one of Arsenal’s best players this season after arriving from Bologna on deadline day, and Tomiyasu’s performances have been crucial for Mikel Arteta.
The 6’2″ defender has quickly become a fan favourite at the Emirates Stadium, yet Tomiyasu’s injury has caused some worries for Arsenal supporters given the insufficient back-up the club have in the position.
Cedric Soares’ performances have been mixed this season, though the Portuguese international was impressive against Wolves last week, with the defender one of many players to put in a solid shift for Arsenal.
Yet there’s no denying that fans will be keen to see Tomiyasu return to the starting XI on the weekend, with the Japanese international seemingly back to full fitness after missing a few weeks due to injury.
