Arsenal are set to be without the services of defender Kieran Tierney for the remainder of the 2021/22 season. The Scottish defender sat out of the Gunners’ shocking 3-0 defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace on Monday night with a knee injury.
The left-back is set to undergo surgery for the problem and will now likely to be ruled out for the remainder of the season in what is a huge blow to the Gunners’ hopes of finishing in the Champions League spots.
A club statement read: "Assessments and scans have confirmed that Kieran has damaged his left knee. A specialist consultation took place on Tuesday, and as a result of further discussions with Kieran and our medical team, it has been decided that Kieran requires surgery to his knee. This procedure will take place in London in the forthcoming days.
