Takehiro Tomiyasu in contention to return against United, says Arteta
Tomiyasu is on track to play his first game since January on Saturday, manager Mikel Arteta said on Friday as his team prepares to host Premier League top-four rivals Manchester United. Tomiyasu, 23, joined Arsenal from Bologna in August and made 17 appearances in all competitions before being sidelined with a calf injury. Arsenal boosted their chances of qualifying for the Champions League for the first time since 2015-16 after Wednesday's win at Chelsea left them in fifth place with 57 points, three ahead of sixth-placed United.
