Arsenal caretaker Ljungberg left sweating on injuries for Tierney and Bellerin

Freddie Ljungberg says Arsenal will assess injuries to Kieran Tierney and Hector Bellerin after Monday's win over West Ham United.

Bellerin was named in the starting line-up but suffered a knock in the warm-up, while Tierney was taken off in the second-half with apparent shoulder injury.

"Tierney, I think it's something with his shoulder but I don't know exactly what it is," said Ljungberg after the 3-1 win. "But obviously we had to take him off so I think he's going to maybe go to hospital and check what it is.

"Hector had a bit of feeling, I think, in his hamstring in the warm up. Then we took the decision. I said I'm not going to force anyone to play if you don't feel 100 per cent.

"So we took him off and had a straight swap on that with Ainsley, and Ainsley had been out in the cold for a little bit and comes on and does really well, so I'm really proud of him and happy for him."
