# Arsenal fans react to Kieran Tierney’s training ground antics

Kieran Tierney is expected to make his highly anticipated Arsenal debut in the coming weeks after making good progress from a groin problem.

The Scot, who joined the Gunners from Celtic on deadline day in a deal worth £25 million, is expected to become Unai Emery’s first-choice left-back when he’s fully fit, and it appears as if that isn’t too far away.

The club shared some training ground footage involving the 22-year-old, with Tierney brilliantly lunging in for an interception in a keep-ball drill.

These Arsenal fans quickly responded to the post, with many showing love for the defender and many cautious of Tierney injuring himself again before making his return.

### Read Arsenal verdict

It’s great to see the full-back getting stuck in during training, but if he could just take it steady for the next few days, that would be great.

The last thing everyone needs is another niggle picked up, and with Nacho Monreal sold, Sead Kolasinac needs some back up in the left-back role.

Emery could well hold off handing Tierney his debut until he has completed several outings for the Under-23’s, but this latest footage, even though it is crazy, is certainly good news.
