Mikel Arteta has shared his thoughts on the performance of Kieran Tierney after the left-back made his first start for Arsenal in over 500 days during the 3-2 Carabao Cup quarter-final victory over Crystal Palace.
Tierney, 27, joined Arsenal from Celtic five years ago and quickly became a fan favorite under then-manager Unai Emery. However, his Arsenal career has been marred by persistent injuries, limiting his availability and forcing him out of the club’s plans last season. The Scotland international was subsequently loaned to Real Sociedad.
