Scottish international Kieran Tierney has been a solid depth player for Mikel Arteta at Arsenal, however, he spent last season on loan at La Liga side Real Sociedad where he made 26 appearances.
He suffered a thigh injury whilst on international duty at Euro 2024 with Scotland in their second group game against Switzerland.
It has put a doubt over the 27-year-old’s future at Arsenal which was already in limbo thanks to his season-long loan at Sociedad.
Tierney isn’t expected to return for some time.
