They said: Assessments have confirmed that Takehiro Tomiyasu sustained a significant injury to his right knee. Tomi has had successful surgery in London on Tuesday …
When Ben White started the season at right-back, we all assumed it was just until Takehiro Tomiyasu was fit again. After years of inconsistency in defence, Tomiyasu instantly won Arsenal fans over as a tough, no-nonsense, reliable right-back. We had no idea that Ben White, signed as a centre-back, would …
Good morning. We’re now into the Interlull. Not just any Interlull either, the most terrifying Interlull I can ever remember. There has always been a ‘cross your fingers and hope everyone’s ok’ vibe running though previous ones, but never like this. Some of our most important players are going to …
Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. In this episode we look back at the 4-1 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday, which put us 8 points clear at the top of the table. We discuss team selection, not least Rob Holding starting …

Match report – Player ratings – Arteta reaction Arsenal are out of Europe, losing 5-3 on penalties to Sporting after a 1-1 draw and extra time. On our preview podcast, I suggested to Lewis that this would be the worst way to lose, and I stand by that. I never …
