Celtic boss Rodgers has stated that nothing has changed with Tierney, and that the 21-year-old is carrying on as normal.
Rodgers told The Scottish Sun when asked about any update on Tierney: “I haven’t been told anything different. Kieran has been absolutely brilliant, as per normal. He is totally focused and, thankfully, he is at a club he loves.
“He’s still trying to get fit, still learning. There has been no change in Kieran. Absolutely nothing fazes him.
“He’s a wonderful talent, a great boy to work with, everything you would want as a manager.”
Reassuring for Celtic fans
Celtic will need Tierney for their upcoming Champions League qualifiers, and Rodgers’s aforementioned comments will be reassuring for the Celtic Park faithful.
After all, the 21-year-old has to be fully focused and has to have the right mindset for their upcoming European games.
