Arsenal boss Arteta: We must be patient with Tierney

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is keen to get Kieran Tierney back in action.

Scottish full-back Tierney has missed the last nine league games through a shoulder injury, but the 22-year-old is back training again.

Arteta said: “He is doing very good progress but we need to wait for the bone and the attachment to the tendon to heal before he can make any contact.

“He has been training, his work ethic is incredible, I have been really impressed with him so hopefully we can get him back soon but we need to be a little bit patient with him."
