Arsenal learn severity of Takehiro Tomiyasu knee injury
Arsenal have confirmed that defender Takehiro Tomiyasu will miss the remainder of the 2022/23 season due to a knee injury.
The full-back suffered a serious knee injury during the Gunners' recent Europa League clash with Sporting CP at the Emirates Stadium - a game Arsenal would go on to lose on penalties after Tomiyasu was subbed off inside the opening 20 minutes.
In a statement released on the club's official website, Arsenal confirmed the extent of the Japanese international's injury and that the player had undergone successful surgery.
"Following his substitution during last Thursday’s Europa League match, subsequent assessments have confirmed that Takehiro Tomiyasu sustained a significant injury to his right knee.
"Tomi has had successful surgery in London on Tuesday and will be ruled out for the remainder of this season.
"Everyone at the club will now be working hard with Tomi, so he can join pre-season training ahead of next season."
