Kieran Tierney is struggling for game time at Arsenal.
The Scotland full-back was a regular under Mikel Arteta until last season.
He had his problems with injuries down the years but looks fully fit and is still finding it difficult to get back to the teamsheet.
The arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko this summer and presence of Takehiro Tomiyasu has limited his game time this campaign.
Arsenal legend Nigel Winterburn believes Tierney has to work hard to be a part of Arteta’s plans.
He told Ladbrokes Fanzone: “As a player, you’ve got to wait for your opportunity, and the one thing that Kieran Tierney has got to worry about is that [Takehiro] Tomiyasu has played the last two league games ahead of him on that left-hand side.
“I could understand it against Liverpool; that decision made sense to me because the right-footed left-back really helped in keeping Mo Salah quiet and stopped him from coming inside as he so often does.”
“But I can’t answer that question as to why Tomiyasu started ahead of Tierney against Leeds on the weekend. You might say it was a reward or recognition for the job he did against Liverpool, but there’s been a Europa League game since then, and Tierney played in that.”
