Arsenal’s resurgence since the international break has been impressive, with back-to-back victories over Nottingham Forest and Sporting Lisbon showcasing the Gunners’ attacking prowess and renewed focus. However, while Mikel Arteta’s side has found form on the pitch, injury concerns continue to cast a shadow over their defensive ranks.

Tomiyasu is a good defender who has impressed on occasions during his time at Arsenal so far. Ben White has previously said that Tomiyasu is very different in training. Declan Rice has also been impressed with his Arsenal teammate. Gabriel Jesus has said that Tomiyasu is his toughest opponent in training.
