Former Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has said that Kieran Tierney will come back stronger despite suffering a season-ending knee injury. The Scottish full-back was ruled out of Monday’s trip to Crystal Palace with the problem, although it was not at the time confirmed how serious the injury was.
The Gunners, though, have since announced that Tierney is set to undergo surgery to repair the problem, with the procedure likely to rule him out for the remainder of the 2021/22 campaign.
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.
