Mikel Arteta Takehiro Tomiyasu injury Arsenal Wolves

Arsenal star Takehiro Tomiyasu suffers injury against Wolves, adding to team's injury worries. Bayern Munich interested in acquiring his services.

Arsenal's Takehiro Tomiyasu suffered an injury during the match against Wolves, leading to Ben White replacing him with just over 10 minutes left to play. Tomiyasu, who contributed to a goal with a pass finished by Bukayo Saka, has been a key player for Arsenal in recent games due to Ben White's injury issues. However, if his injury turns out to be severe, it will be a significant setback for both the player and coach Mikel Arteta. The Gunners have five games scheduled before Christmas, and Tomiyasu's absence will pose a challenge for Arteta's selection.

Injuries have been a concern for Arsenal, with Fabio Vieira joining the injury list that already includes Emile Smith Rowe, Thomas Partey, and Jurrien Timber. However, White, Martin Odegaard, and Gabriel Jesus have returned in recent weeks, making an impact. Tomiyasu's injury earlier in the season had raised concerns, but he made a strong comeback and has been performing well.

Despite a difficult second campaign, Tomiyasu has shown resilience and a positive attitude, overcoming his struggles with confidence. He has learned from his injuries and mistakes and is now feeling good, both physically and mentally. Arsenal is keen to open contract talks with Tomiyasu, despite interest from Bayern Munich, as he has become an integral part of the team.
