Takehiro Tomiyasu

Ive literally gone from calling hin the Japanese lad and settled on TT now.
I’m giving the forum fair warning now for future reference.

I was talking about how impressed I was with how he didn’t miss any games so far for us considering his record in Italy and now the lad is injured.
Fucking jinxed the guy.

How long is he out? Did Arteta say?

I read somewhere Arteta said it was a muscle strain so shouldn’t be too long hopefully

Who takes his place? Cedric or AMN?
I guess it depends on what you want out of your full back? Think Cedric changes tactics a bit as he likes to overlap a lot whereas AMN can probably emulate Tomiyasu’s role where he becomes the 3rd CB/CM.

Chambers maybe? He’s closest to that physical profile. I know he’s been in deep freeze since the start of the season when played like shit but I can’t see Arteta ever playing AMN. Dude is just destined to turn in MoTM performances at RB and then get shipped out to Fulham or something.

He’s out with COVID no?

Maybe, I didn’t really keep up with the COVID list.

Is he confirmed out for today?

Just checked the team news and he’s not listed as being injured. Only Kolasinac is with the covid-19 list being same as last game

How much of a boost will it be for our chances against City if he makes it back in time?

Should at least be able to avoid conceding from a Sterling header if he’s back anyway.

Should be back, he tested positive for COVID, right? There is only a 7 day isolation period now.

He was also injured too right?

Think that was the previous game. Arteta said he had a muscle injury. Sounds like he recovered from that though

I’m more worried about the injury than the positive covid case, hopefully the soft tissue injury has healed.

Huge, outside Rammy he’s been our best player this season.

No fuss, quiet and efficient. Reminds me defensively of Sagna and I’ve not felt worried about a winger all year.

He did have a little wobble against Liverpool but can let him off 1 bad game.

Want to give him his dues, thought he had a very good game today, especially when it was 11 vs 11.
