“We don’t know that (how long he will be out for),” said Arteta. “It doesn’t look like, hopefully, a long period but we have to see when he comes back how he reacts to the load and to the impact on the pitch as well.
“But we really need him. He has been incredible, his work rate, the amount of hours he has put in to get back.
“He did it and he was in great shape - and now he has got something else again. But, we are all behind him. He needs our support and hopefully he will be fine.”
Potential return date: Unknown
Kieran Tierney
Tierney has not played since being stretchered off with a serious hamstring injury during Scotland’s group game against Switzerland at Euro 2024 back in June.
A timeline for his return is still unclear as things stand. Tierney is unlikely to play much when fit anyway given Arteta’s strong full-back options, with his latest injury likely having prevented a permanent summer exit after spending last season on loan in LaLiga with Real Sociedad.
