(Reuters) - Arsenal will be without defender Takehiro Tomiyasu for the start of their Premier League campaign as the Japan international will be out for weeks with a knee injury, manager Mikel Arteta said on Sunday.
Tomiyasu, 25, was left out of Arsenal's pre-season tour in the U.S. due to the injury, and was also absent from Sunday's 2-0 win over Lyon in London.
