Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney has broken his silence on his injury setback.
The Scotland left-back is likely out for the remainder of the Premier League season.
Tierney has suffered a knee injury that requires surgery, and he is likely to miss Scotland's upcoming World Cup Qualifier as well.
A club statement read: "Assessments and scans have confirmed that Kieran has damaged his left knee.
"A specialist consultation took place on Tuesday, and as a result of further discussions with Kieran and our medical team, it has been decided that Kieran requires surgery to his knee. This procedure will take place in London in the forthcoming days.
"Kieran's rehabilitation programme will start immediately after his surgery, at which stage a clearer understanding will be established on his recovery timescale. However, it is likely that Kieran will now miss the remainder of this season."
Arsenal also sent a message of support to Tierney on their official Instagram account, and he responded.
He wrote: "Such is life. Thank you."
