‘We Missed Him’ ‘He’s Our Most Vital And Creative Player’ Fans Lament Absent Arsenal Ace Following Palace Stalemate

‘We Missed Him’ ‘He’s Our Most Vital And Creative Player’ Fans Lament Absent Arsenal Ace Following Palace Stalemate

Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney missed the 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace yesterday evening with what manager Mikel Arteta described as a muscular injury.

The former Celtic player has been superb during the Gunners’ recent run of good form and his absence last night coincided with a flat performance from the team. Supporters on Twitter don’t think it was a coincidence:


It remains to be seen how long Tierney will be out for. Arteta has confirmed that the 23-year-old will undergo a scan today but he didn’t want to put a timeframe on the defender’s potential return, which will undoubtedly concern fans.

From what Arteta said about the injury after the game, though, it does seem unlikely that he’ll be available when they play Newcastle on Monday evening. The fullback has had his injury problems since arriving in the summer of 2019 but he has barely missed a game so far this season.
