Arsenal Manager Mikel Arteta Discloses Reasons Behind Tomiyasu's Saturday Substitution
In a 2-1 victory against Wolverhampton at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal demonstrated their prowess, securing their position at the summit of the Premier League table with first-half goals courtesy of Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard.
However, the spotlight shifted to Tomiyasu in the second half as he was substituted for Ben White, prompting concerns among fans about a potential injury. Tomiyasu, who had earlier provided the assist for Saka's opening goal, raised eyebrows with his exit.
Addressing the situation post-game, Mikel Arteta shed light on the decision, emphasizing a precautionary approach. Arteta stated, "I don’t know, he felt something, I don’t know if it was fatigue, we decided to change straight away with him, we didn’t want to take any risk. Let’s assess how he is."
As Arsenal gears up for their upcoming Premier League clash with Luton Town on Tuesday night, the focus remains on evaluating Tomiyasu's condition.
