TAKEHIRO TOMIYASU will miss Arsenal’s pre-season tour of the USA with a knee problem.
The Gunners have confirmed the Japanese international is set to remain in London.
Tomiyasu will receive treatment on the injury whilst his team-mates head Stateside.
Meanwhile, Kieran Tierney also misses out due to a hamstring injury after returning from his loan spell at Real Sociedad.
Fans have been left fuming with the news, though, even calling for Tomiyasu to be sold.
Reacting on social media, one supporter wrote: “Are those two just permanently injured?”
Another added: “Time to sell him, he can’t stay fit.”
A third fan also wrote: “This guy is made of glass.”
Tomiyasu suffered from a pair of calf injuries last season, causing him to miss 13 matches for Arsenal.
The 25-year-old has had several injury woes since signing from Bologna in 2021.
