Arsenal’s Japanese right-back Takehiro Tomiyasu has suffered from a knee injury to be out of action for the remainder of this season, the English Premier League club confirmed Tuesday.

“Following his substitution during last Thursday’s Europa League match, subsequent assessments have confirmed that Takehiro Tomiyasu sustained a significant injury to his right knee.

“Tomi has had successful surgery in London on Tuesday and will be ruled out for the remainder of this season,” Arsenal said in a statement.

The 24-year-old player joined Arsenal from Italy’s Bologna in 2021 and has a contract with the Gunners until 2025.

Tomiyasu, who plays for his native Japan, amassed 53 appearances for the English club.
