Speaking after the win over Lyon, Arteta ruled the Japan international out until next month at the earliest, telling reporters: “I think it will take weeks on that one, unfortunately, and poor Tomi because of everything that he does.

“But he’s going to have to be patient and work through it because I think it’s going to take a few weeks.”

Asked for an update last week, Arteta reiterated that Tomiyasu is still “a few weeks” away from first-team action.

Potential return date: September/October 2024

Kieran Tierney
Tierney’s future at Arsenal appears bleak, having been shipped out on loan to Real Sociedad last season and returning after Euro 2024 with a hamstring injury.

Amid speculation linking Tierney with another move this summer, Arteta wants the left-back to focus on his fitness.

He told reporters last week: “He needs to focus on recovering in the best possible way, it’s been a tough time for him again with the last injury. We have to try to support him and make sure he gets back fit.”

Potential return date: Unknown
