Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney was dealt a huge blow earlier this week as he was forced off against West Ham with a shoulder injury.
The Gunners won the game 3-1, but Tierney was withdrawn in the first-half after landing awkwardly on his shoulder after a tussle inside the six-yard box.
After the game, Tierney took to Twitter to thank the fans for their support.
Twitter: Thank you so much for continued support through everything. Very grateful for it. I don’t take it for granted. God… https://t.co/jft5aHmtJT (@kierantierney1)

READ ARSENAL VERDICT
Tierney has had a troubled start to his Arsenal career after arriving with an injury from Celtic and now he has suffered yet another blow. Sead Kolasinac came on in his place and changed the game for Arsenal, as he provided an excellent assist to Gabriel Martinelli for his equaliser – igniting the comeback at the London Stadium.
The Scottish international will now need to return as quickly as possible and attempt to work his way back into the starting XI. If Kolasinac can keep providing assists and impressing down the left, though, it could be quite the ask for Tierney to dislodge him.
