Arsenal defender Tomiyasu undergoes surgery and may miss the start of next season

Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu has played only six minutes this season, and his return is not expected in the near future.

Details. The Japanese versatile defender revealed that he recently underwent his second surgery of the season — on his knee.

It’s likely that we won’t see Tomiyasu on the field for the rest of this season. According to British media, he may also miss the start of the next campaign.

Quote. "A few days ago, I had knee surgery, and I’ve already started my rehabilitation to get back to doing what I love the most.

This is definitely the toughest period of my career, and it will continue for a little while, but I won’t give up. Thank you for your support, and I’ll see you again," the defender wrote on Instagram.

Reminder. It has been revealed when Arsenal leaders Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli will return from their injuries.
