Tierney is more likely to show up for a trip to town!
The Sun reported today that Kieran Tierney has been cleared to play Manchester City over the weekend and what a boost it will be for Arteta if that’s true.
Kieran had been told to isolate himself for 14 days after he came into close contact with his Scotland teammate Stuart Armstrong, who had tested positive for a few days in international service, in turn, Kieran was sent back. to London to complete his quarantine at home, and as Arsenal initially. They expressed disappointment at this, but it seemed like there was no way Kieran could play with the return of the Premier League.
But a week later, it seems our club doctor, Gary O’Driscoll, has had some pretty positive conversations with the Lothian Health Protection Team, which is the equivalent of our NHS, Scottish government, and SFA, and It appears that Kieran who has tested negative will be available to be selected for play at Etihad over the weekend.
Although Arsenal has yet to confirm it, I suppose we will know when the teams will be revealed an hour before the game takes place, but if the reports are said to be true, it is always a boost to have players available.
I hope for our sake that Kieran can play, but if it happens that he still has his entire quarantine period to serve, so be it, we have a full strength team and there are other players who will be able to come in and do it. a similar job, if not the same, if Kieran doesn’t get the green light.
Will it be the end of the world if he doesn’t get to play against City? No, not really, because at the end of the day, the health and safety of the players should be the number one priority, no matter how embarrassing. Whether it’s the risk of possibly having the virus and passing it on, or the risk of being fined for playing with it when you never met your time, it’s just not worth it! Gooners?
