Kieran Tierney provided Arsenal fans with an update on his injury on Monday evening.
The 22-year-old made the move to the Emirates from Celtic in a deal worth £25m over the summer.
Tierney, who arrived in North London following a double hernia operation, suffered a dislocated shoulder in the 3-1 win over West Ham last week and had to undergo surgery for the second time this year.
The Scot posted an image on his Instagram story following his operation, thanking supporters for their support over the past seven days.
Tierney’s post was shared on Twitter by @GurjitAFC, which allowed these Arsenal fans to share their love for the left-back.

It’s good to see Tierney in high spirits, but he could be sidelined for three months following the surgery.
Tierney will be eager to say goodbye to 2019, and hopefully, the highly-rated Scot can kick on in the new year when he makes his return.
The Gunners will now have to rely on Sead Kolasinac at left-back, however, he could also be set for a spell on the sidelines after picking up an ankle problem against Manchester City.
The club could decide to bring in a left-back, with young winger Bukayo Saka replacing Kolasinac as. an emergency full-back against the defending champions on Sunday.
