Kieran Tierney Scotland injury hammer blow as Arsenal star sent home from Euro 2024

Kieran Tierney’s Euro 2024 campaign is OVER after he was sent home from Scotland’s camp in Germany.

The Arsenal man has retuned to his club for treatment on his hamstring injury. Tierney went off during the 1-1 Group A draw against Switzerland and will play no further part in the tournament. Scotland face Hungary in their final match in Stuttgart on Sunday and if they win will qualify for the knockout stage for the first time in the country’s history. And Steve Clarke’s right hand man John Carver confirmed at the pre-match press conference that Tierney has left the camp for treatment.

He said: "He's got an issue with his hamstring and he's heading home to be assessed by Arsenal. They will give you updates as they have it but he's obviously extremely disappointed. If we progress through the tournament I'm sure he'll be back to support us but he's a young lad, he's got plenty of time and he has to make sure it's right for his return. It's a blow because he's one of our top players and in tournament football you need your best players on the park. He gives that balance down the left with Andy Robertson and Callum McGregor and they combine really well and whenever any team loses their best players it will affect the situation but it's also an opportunity for someone else to step in.

"We went to the game against Switzerland the other night and everyone was itching after the Germany performance so there's a chance for someone to stake a claim for it."
