Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney sustains nasty injury in Euro 2024 clash against Switzerland
Arsenal left-back and Scotland international Kieran Tierney sustained a nasty injury against Switzerland on Wednesday night at the European Championship, and he had to be stretchered off.
While there is yet to be an official confirmation, it looks as if his time at the tournament might be over.
The Gunners defender looked as if he fell, and his hamstring appeared to pop. Tierney was unable to walk off the pitch and had to be eventually replaced.
The 27-year-old spent last season on loan in La Liga with Real Sociedad, featuring in 26 games across all competitions.
Tierney has admitted he might have played his last game for Arsenal given the options available to manager Mikel Arteta in the position.
However, he has left his options open and is not completely ruling out a return to the North London club, citing the case of William Saliba.
The injury he sustained tonight has not done his chances of forcing his way back into the plans of Arteta any good.
Tierney was hoping to use the tournament to prove himself all over again, and Arsenal and potential summer transfer suitors would have planned to run the rule over him during the few weeks of Euro 2024.
He could miss several weeks of action, which could deal a massive blow on his chances of securing a move away from Arsenal or remaining at the club.
With pre-season preparations starting soon and the Gunners set to go on tour, Tierney will be desperate to return to his feet sooner rather than later and hope his injury is not very serious given his history of long-term knocks.
