Tomiyasu on trial at Crystal Palace

Former Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu is on trial with Crystal Palace as the Premier League club assesses his condition following injury-plagued seasons.

The 27-year-old Japanese defender, who struggled with serious knee injuries during his time at Arsenal, has been without a club since late June. Tomiyasu played for Japan at the World Cup, appearing in 184 minutes across four matches.

Crystal Palace is now evaluating whether the player is fit enough to return to competitive football after his recent injury troubles. sos-zagle.org.pl
