So deserved, Takehiro Tomiyasu Off to the World Cup with Japan… So deserved, Takehiro Tomiyasu Arteta has now given a positive update on Tomiyasu's injury as well. He believes taking him off during Arsenal's win over Zurich did the trick and hopes that the right-back will be fit to represent Japan at the World Cup. "It’s a small injury for Tomi, he did well to stop during the match, so it’s not going to be a big issue. I think he will be back in a week or so, so hopefully he will be fine to start at the World Cup," the Spanish tactician told the official Arsenal media team (via ). Arteta's comments also seemed to indicate that Tomiyasu will probably not feature for the Gunners in their remaining two encounters before the World Cup break. The north London club are set to face Brighton & Hove Albion in the EFL Cup before playing Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League. Tomiyasu, meanwhile, has had to face competition from Ben White for the right-back position this season. In all, he has made 17 appearances, which includes just four league starts, for the Arsenal first-team this term, assisting a goal in the process.
