Scotland star Kieran Tierney fully fit despite sitting out training, admits John Carver

John Carver admits there are no injury concerns over Kieran Tierney after he sat out a section of training yesterday.

The Scotland assistant confirmed that the Arsenal star is on a different programme to other members of the squad so he missed a part of the training session.

Tierney only returned from a knee injury in the final weeks of the season but he has fully recovered to play an starring role at EURO 2020 this summer.

The Muirhouse man is one of Scotland’s most important players and he’s guaranteed to be in Steve Clarke’s starting line-up on Monday against Czech Republic.

Carver revealed that members of the squad are on individual programmes due to their seasons finishing at different times but the 56-year-old says Tierney is raring to go.

“He’s on a different programme,” Carver admitted. “There are a few different players in the group on different programmes and he’s one of them.

“Everybody is different and there were a couple of guys who didn’t train this morning to do their own little bits and pieces so everybody is fine.

“Everybody is up to speed. John {Fleck} has done some extra work which is great because everybody is at different stages.

“Some guys finished two weeks before the English guys did so we’ve had different programmes for different players.

“Everybody is in fine form and the 26 guys are ready to go.”
