Arsenal injury news ahead of Liverpool clash including Kieran Tierney
[ad_1]
Kieran Tierney is expected to hand Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta a major boost by being available to play Liverpool on Monday night.
The Scotland international was pulled out of the starting XI that beat West Ham on Saturday with a groin injury.
But the injury is not deemed too serious and after being left out of the squad that played Leicester City on Wednesday, the left-back should be in contention to play at Anfield.
Nevertheless, Arteta could still be without several names for the clash against last season’s Premier League winners.
