Arsenal have confirmed that defender Kieran Tierney has made an early return to the club after suffering injury on international duty. The left-back was substituted with a head injury in Scotland's UEFA Nations League clash with Republic of Ireland on Saturday.
The move back to the Emirates Stadium comes as a precaution, with the club set to check over the 25-year-old before making a decision on his availability. It marks a second return from international duty for the Gunners in the space of two days, with midfielder Thomas Partey also coming back to the club.
The Ghana international was set to feature in his nation's friendly match with Brazil on Friday, but didn't feature after picking up a knock before the game. It now marks a double concern for Mikel Arteta just one week before a crucial north London derby match against Tottenham.
