’50:50′: Injured Arsenal player may not now play against Juventus tomorrow – journalist

Takehiro Tomiyasu may not play for Arsenal against Juven𒈔tus in their friendly🎃 at the Emirates Stadium tomorrow.

Journalist Charles Watts said on that the Gunners are trying to manage the Japanese defender’s fitness carefully 💟after the World Cup.

He said that Tomiyasu was managing a hamstring injury across all four games of the tourn🍰ament in Qatar and he may not be thrown straight back into action.

That may mean he misses the fi🎐nal public friendly before Arsenal resume their Premier League season against West 💛Ham on Boxing Day.

Tomiyasu may miss Arsenal v Juventus

Watts said: “Tomiyasu was managing a bit of a hamstring injury all the way through the World Cup so I’m not sure h𒆙e’s going to b𝓰e involved tomorrow.

“Arsenal might take it a bit easier with 🎶him to make sure he’s okay before throwing him back in.

“I’d say he’s probably 50:50 to featurܫe against Juv💛e.”

It has recently been reported t🅠hat Juventus are plotting a swoop for T🍌omiyasu.

claim that Max Allegri wants to bolster his backline despite some recent improvements in terms of𒀰 solidity and results.

They say that ꧃it would cost 30 million euros (£25.8 million) to lure the Japanese international away from the Emirates Stadium.

Juve apparently like the flexibility of the Arsenal defender, who can p💫lay in either full-back position or even a♎t centre-half in a pinch.

They would only be able to embark on a transfer in the summಞer transfer window because they would n♏eed to re-jig their non-EU spots.

Tomiyasu has Serie A experience, having come to Arsenal from Bolog𒊎na and Juventus are seemingly hoping that he can be lured back to Italy.

Butꦍ perhaps they will not get the chance to see the defender up close tomorrow if Arsenal do not risk his injury.
