Kieran Tierney's Arsenal freak injury detailed after ex-Celtic star 'walked out shower'

Arsenal club doctor Gary O'Driscoll has detailed Kieran Tierney's freak knee injury as he collapsed coming out of the shower.

The former Celtic full-back was forced onto the sidelines for a large chunk of games at the end of last season for the Gunners while he was also had to watch on as Scotland faced Ukraine in a crucial World Cup qualifier - losing out at Hampden.

Tierney has always been known for his strong tackle and rampaging displays up and down the left side of the pitch and with that nature and character, it was highly unsurprising that he continued playing despite suffering the injury against Wolves on February 24. He continued to play in the games that followed until one day after training he walked out of the shower and that was when the injury became apparent.
