Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has told the club’s official website that Kieran Tierney is now fully fit.
Arteta made the comments ahead of the Premier League match between Arsenal and Leicester City at the Emirates Stadium in North London in the Premier League today.
Scotland international left-back Tierney, linked with a move to Manchester City in the summer transfer window, came on as a substitute against Crystal Palace after recovering from injury.
Arsenal boss Arteta has said that the 25-year-old £25 million (Goal) defender is now fully fit and ready to go.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta on Kieran Tierney
Arteta told Arsenal’s official website about Tierney: “He played 15 or 20 minutes last weekend and he did really well. He’s been out for a long time after the knee injury but he looks in perfect condition now and ready to go.”
Starting against Leicester City
In our opinion, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta should include Kieran Tierney in the starting lineup against Leicester City at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday.
Tierney is the best left-back at the Gunners, and he will get into full match rhythm only by playing regularly.
Oleksandr Zinchenko did well at left-back against Palace, but the Ukraine international should be pushed into midfielder against the Foxes to accommodate Tierney at the back.
Arsenal will fancy their chances of winning against Leicester at home, and Tierney will play a big role in that quest.
