Mikel Arteta and his team have made their way to the United States for their pre-season tour. The Arsenal manager recently shared that they are still assessing the severity of an injury that has sidelined Takehiro Tomiyasu from joining the squad. The 26-man Gunners team arrived in Los Angeles this week and are gearing up for friendly matches against Bournemouth, Manchester United, and Liverpool.
Unfortunately, some key players will not be joining the team due to their participation in the Euro 2024 tournament. Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Aaron Ramsdale, David Raya, and William Saliba will not be present, as they reached the latter stages of the competition with their national teams. Along with them, Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney will also be absent. Tierney suffered a hamstring injury during Scotland's group stage exit, while Tomiyasu is staying in London for treatment on a knee issue.
Arteta expressed his disappointment in Tomiyasu's injury, describing it as "unbelievable luck." Although the decision to leave him out of the tour was a precautionary one, the medical team is still evaluating his condition. The incident happened during training this week, and they are still waiting for updates on the extent of the injury.
Meanwhile, Jurrien Timber is eager to make a comeback after missing most of the 2023-24 season due to an ACL injury on his Premier League debut. The Dutchman joined Arsenal from Ajax last year and made a strong impression in his limited appearances. Arteta praised him as a "winner" and commended his hard work and determination to get back on the field.
The manager also highlighted Timber's leadership qualities and technical abilities, making him a valuable addition to the team. However, they will have to carefully manage his load in the next few weeks as he returns to full fitness. Arteta believes Timber will make a big impact on the team and is excited to have him back in action.
