Tierney, by his own admission, is “heartbroken”. And no wonder, including in terms of the big picture: time and again, fitness woes hamper Tierney just when he seems to be making progress. A summer move from Arsenal not onlyappeared to be on the cards but felt essential. Now, clubs will pause while awaiting news of how long Tierney faces on the sidelines.
