'He had to come off.., we don’t want to take any risks': Mikel Arteta gives update on Takehiro Tomiyasu after Europa League win over Zurich as Gunners boss confirms defender picked up a 'muscular injury' after coming on as a substitute

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has given an update on defender Takehiro Tomiyasu after he had to be substituted with an injury in the club's win over FC Zurich in the Europa League.

The Japanese international had only come onto the pitch as a second half substitute for Ben White but his time on the pitch only lasted a short while as he appeared to pick up an injury.

Arsenal would go on to win the game against the Swiss side despite the injury to Tomiyasu, thanks to a brilliant strike from left-back Kieran Tierney, helping them to the top spot of Group A.
