Mikel Arteta has provided an update on the fitness of defenders Takehiro Tomiyasu and Ben White ahead of Arsenal’s Premier League clash with Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday, December 4. The duo have missed several matches this season and Arteta said they are still recovering from injuries.
The Gunners have been hit hard by injuries this campaign and have struggled to be consistent in the league.
Tomiyasu's time at Arsenal has been marred by recurring injuries. The Japanese defender injured his knee in pre-season. He returned to action on October 5, playing six minutes in Arsenal’s Premier League clash with Southampton.
However, he couldn’t feature in the Gunners' next match as Arteta claimed he was unfit. Tomiyasu hasn’t played for the club since, making just one appearance for the north London club this season.
