Arsenal get major Tierney fitness boost ahead of North London derby

Kieran Tierney is expected to be available for Arsenal in the game against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, claims Football London.

The left-back only missed Scotland’s recent game against Ukraine as a precaution, after picking up a head injury in the win over the Republic of Ireland.

Tierney has not suffered anything major in terms of his head injury and should be ready to feature for the Gunners.

However, it remains to be seen if he can play ahead of Oleksandr Zinchenko, who is also reportedly set to be fit for the game.

Mikel Arteta can, of course, opt to play both of them together – which would mean playing Zinchenko in a midfield role.
