Kieran Tierney gave many Arsenal fans cause for concern after lasting just 30 minutes against FC Nurnberg on what was his first appearance for the club in over 100 days.
The Scotland international missed the climax of the 2021/22 campaign after undergoing knee surgery back in April and had to frustratingly watch on from the sidelines as the Gunners were pipped to a top-four finish by bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspur on the final day.
However, to hand Arsenal a huge boost going into the new season, Tierney revealed he was on course to be available for the start of pre-season training: "It's tough working full days in the gym on your own, but you've got to keep on pushing yourself. There's no point feeling sorry for yourself. I don't look for or expect sympathy from anyone," he said.
