Arsenal defender suffers season-ending injury


Kieran Tierney news

Tierney out injured for the season

Arsenal have suffered a massive injury blow with Kieran Tierney ruled out for the remainder of the campaign.



The Scotland international picked up a knee injury on international duty, and subsequently missed the Gunners game at Crystal Palace.

In his absence, the Gunners suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat. It is now reported that the Scotland international is out for the rest of the season.

Tierney went to see a specialist earlier today. It has now been confirmed that he will require a knee surgery which will sideline him for months.

The Scot's absence is a huge blow for the Gunners in their top-four pursuit, but they have further problems to deal with for the season run-in.

Takehiro Tomiyasu has been out for months with a calf injury, and his return is uncertain. Meanwhile, Thomas Partey could be out for weeks.

The Ghanaian suffered a thigh injury against Palace last night. Mikel Arteta confirmed that it was a recurrence of his previous setback this term.
