Champions League rosters for the upcoming season have been officially submitted by European clubs; modifications cannot be made until January. Arsenal is keen to improve on their previous campaign, in which they were eliminated in the quarterfinals, as they enter the competition for the second time in a row.
Although Mikel Arteta has made sure that all of Arsenal’s important players are represented in the squad, supporters are particularly drawn to the name Kieran Tierney, which is noteworthy and unexpected. Tierney was told earlier in the summer that he was not a long-term member of Arsenal’s plans and that the club expected him to leave during the transfer window, so his inclusion is surprising.
Nevertheless, Tierney stays with the team despite attempts to secure a transfer away from the Emirates, despite the fact that he is currently injured. His inclusion in the Champions League roster may indicate, according to *Football Scotland*, that Arsenal is giving him another chance to prove himself this season. This choice suggests that Tierney might still be a significant contributor to Arsenal’s campaign after he fully recovers.
In my opinion, Tierney could end up being a great asset for Arsenal, especially if injuries happen later in the season. The team gains more depth and adaptability with him as a backup, making them more equipped to handle any obstacles that may come up.
