Arsenal have another injury concern ahead of Saturday’s EPL tie with Tottenham Hotspur with Kieran Tierney withdrawing from the Scotland squad.

Having played 86 minutes against Ukraine on Wednesday, Tierney was forced off at the 42-minute mark versus Republic of Ireland three days later due to a head injury.

Tartan Army head coach Steve Clarke suggested after the game that he expected the left-back to be fit for the reverse fixture with Ukraine on Tuesday evening.

At the time, the 25-year-old appeared ready to continue before being withdrawn due to concussion protocols, but a statement from Arsenal has confirmed his withdrawal.

It read: “Our defender is back as a precaution after being substituted due to sustaining a head injury whilst playing for Scotland in their UEFA Nations League fixture against the Republic of Ireland.”

Mikel Arteta has used Tierney on six occasions in the top flight this campaign, three of those outings coming from the starting lineup in the absence of Zinchenko.

While Tierney will now be assessed ahead of the upcoming showdown with their fierce rivals, any selection in the first XI may be dependent on whether Zinchenko is available again after a calf injury.
