Fans want Tomiyasu gone
Arsenal fans are worried about the availability of Tomiyasu next season and have urged the club to sell him after picking up an injury.
Tomiyasu missed 13 games for Arsenal the previous season due to two calf problems. The 25-year-old has struggled with injuries on multiple occasions since joining from Bologna in 2021.
The Japanese international is expected to stay in London, according to the Gunners. Tomiyasu will get medical attention for his injuries as his teammates travel to the United States.
According to the Sun, the news of Tomiyasu’s injury has many fans furious; some have even demanded that Tomiyasu be sold.
One Arsenal supporter wrote, "Are those two just permanently injured?"
Another added, "Time to sell him, he can’t stay fit."
A third fan said, "This guy is made of glass."
Meanwhile, Napoli are reportedly eying the Arsenal defender and could sign the Japanese if a good offer is presented.
The defender has a contract with Arsenal that runs through 2026 with the option of a further year extension.
