Mikel Arteta provides fresh injury update on Kieran Tierney after Wolves defeat

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided a fresh update on the fitness of Kieran Tierney following the club’s 2-1 Premier League defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Gunners saw their seven-match unbeaten run in the league end with the loss at the Molineux Stadium where they played the final 23 minutes with nine men.

Tierney was absent for the game with a lower leg injury and that saw Cedric Soares deputise for him in the left-back role for the fourth game on the bounce.

In his post-match press conference, Arteta was asked about the fitness of Tierney and whether he was close to making a comeback.
