Arsenal fans are excited about the prospect of Kieran Tierney playing against Sheffield United in the English Premier League on Monday night after a picture of him in training on Sunday was posted to the club’s official Twitter account.

The Scotland international has made just two starts since joining the club in August after fitness and injury problems. However it appears he is fit and ready to go for the Gunners’ latest test.

He’s yet to feature in the English top-flight.

Unai Emery confirmed on Friday that he is available for selection.

However, with Sead Kolasinac also pushing for a left-back slot, the Gunners boss was set to make a decision on who plays after weekend training.

As quoted by The Evening Standard, he explained: “Now we have two options in that left-back role with Kolasinac and him. We’re going to play a lot of matches after Monday and we will need every player.

“It depends how he, Sead, comes into the first training with us after his international matches. We now have two players in that position and we can use one on Monday, it depends how they are, one or the other.”

It’s an important match for Emery’s side, who have a chance to move up to third position if they win all three points.
