Tierney in line to make first Arsenal appearance for over a year

Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney could be in line to make his first appearance for the club in over a year.

Mikel Arteta's side have been hit with an injury crisis and Jurrien Timber, Riccardo Calafiori, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Gabriel Magalhaes and Thomas Partey were not seen in the open part of Arsenal's training session before the Champions League game against Monaco on Wednesday.

That could mean that Tierney, who has not played for Arsenal since August 2023 in the Community Shield against Manchester City, following injury issues and a loan to Real Sociedad could be called upon.

"He is training really well. He's going to have opportunity, for sure, with the way the team is looking," Arteta said.

"He is going to do that for a reason as well because he has earned it. The way he has behaved - he has been with us, he is willing to do it."
