ARTETA PROVIDES INJURY UPDATE ON BEN WHITE AND TOMIYASU

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided an update on the injury status of two key players, Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu. The Gunners have been dealing with a number of injuries in recent weeks, and Arteta’s latest update will come as a mix of good and bad news for fans.

Speaking to the media, Arteta revealed that Ben White is expected to be out for a few more weeks. The English defender has been sidelined with an injury, and while he is making progress, Arteta is unsure about the exact timeline for his return.

“Ben White will be out still for a few weeks again,” Arteta said. “There’s a possibility that he might return before the end of the month, but I’m not sure. We’ll have to assess him and see how he progresses.”

On a more positive note, Takehiro Tomiyasu has made progress in his recovery and has been doing some work on the pitch. The Japanese defender has been out for an extended period with a long-term injury, and Arteta is cautious about his return.

“Tomiyasu again has done some stuff on the pitch, but it’s been a long-term injury, and we need to see how he reacts,” Arteta explained. “We’ll have to assess him and see how he progresses, but it’s good to see him back on the pitch.”

Tomiyasu’s return is crucial for Arsenal, especially with Ben White’s extended absence. The Japanese defender has shown promise in his performances, and his versatility in playing anywhere in the backline could be a valuable asset for the team.

Arteta’s update will come as a relief to fans who have been waiting for news on the injured duo. While Ben White’s return is still uncertain, Tomiyasu’s progress is a positive sign for the team. As the Gunners continue to navigate a busy fixture schedule, they will be hoping to get both players back to full fitness as soon as possible.
