Mikel Arteta has remained tight-lipped with regards to Takehiro Tomiyasu's availability for Arsenal as they prepare to face Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night.
The Japan international first suffered a recurrence of a calf injury in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against the Reds back in January causing him to miss the warm-weather training camp in Dubai either side of Burnley and Wolves games.
Despite returning to the Arsenal matchday squad for the 2-1 win over Brentford last month, Tomiyasu injured his other calf in training shortly after, and it has caused him to watch wins over Wolves, Watford, and Leicester City from the sidelines.
