Arsenal legend Nigel Winterburn has claimed that it is a risk making Kieran Tierney captain because of his poor injury record.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was stripped of the club's captaincy back in December of last year following a disciplinary breach before he eventually left for Barcelona during the January transfer window. French forward Alexandre Lacazette, Scottish left-back Tierney and Norway captain Martin Odegaard have all donned the armband since but Lacazette is expected to leave when his contract expires this summer.
Now, former Gunners defender Winterburn has given his say on the captaincy situation, claiming that Tierney's frustrating fitness record could make it difficult for him to lead the team. Speaking to Paddy Power, he said: “Arsenal need to work out what role they want their captain to play.
