Mikel Arteta has been handed a huge injury boost ahead of Arsenal's trip to face Brighton this evening. Arteta confirmed yesterday that Japanese defender Takehiro Tomiyasu is set to be available for selection after being involved in first team training this week.
The 24-year-old will be available for the Gunners' trip to the south coast as Arteta's squad receives a welcome boost heading into a busy period of fixtures. Arsenal have picked up where they left off in the Premier League as they beat West Ham in a London derby at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal started slowly against the Hammers and went one goal down in the first half, but second half goals from Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Eddie Nketiah gave them all three points in a huge win. There were plenty of injury concerns for Arteta heading into the game, but coming out of it, there have been some boosts to him and his squad.
