Arsenal star Tierney feared knee 'pop' had ended Euro 2020 dream with Scotland

The highly-rated defender picked up an injury during the Premier League meeting with Liverpool, but has shaken off that issue

Kieran Tierney admits fearing the worst after hearing his knee "pop" in the Premier League meeting with Liverpool on April 3, with the Scotland international questioning whether his European Championship dream had been dashed.

The left-back was forced out of the 3-0 defeat for the Gunners early in the second-half, and initial reports suggested that his season could be over.

He was, however, to spend just a month on the sidelines, returning for five appearances at the end of the 2020-21 campaign and is now ready to lead his country into a first major international tournament since 1998.
