Takehiro Tomiyasu has been ruled out for the rest of the 2024/25 season after undergoing a second knee surgery.
The Arsenal defender, who has struggled with injuries in recent months, sustained the issue during the club's pre-season tour and briefly returned for a six-minute appearance against Southampton in October before suffering a setback.
The 26-year-old Japanese international confirmed the news on Instagram, describing this period as the most challenging of his career but expressing determination to return stronger. He has already begun rehabilitation following the procedure.
Tomiyasu’s absence adds to Arsenal's injury concerns, with Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus also undergoing surgeries in recent weeks. Despite these setbacks, Mikel Arteta's side remains focused on their upcoming fixtures, including a crucial home clash against West Ham United on Saturday.
Arsenal’s Upcoming Fixtures:
West Ham United (H) – Saturday, Feb 22
Nottingham Forest (A) – Wednesday, Feb 26
Manchester United (A) – Sunday, Mar 9
Chelsea (H) – Sunday, Mar 16
Fulham (A) – Tuesday, Apr 1
