Kieran Tierney’s participation at Euro 2024 is officially over after he was forced to leave the Scotland camp due to a hamstring injury he sustained in their draw with Switzerland.
The Arsenal full-back – who spent the 2023-24 season on loan at Real Sociedad – was carried off on a stretcher late on in Wednesday’s 1-1 draw in Cologne.
Boss Steve Clarke immediately ruled Tierney out of their third Group A game, against Hungary on Sunday, and he will not be available for future games if they progress to the knockout rounds.
Writing on Instagram, Tierney said: “Heartbroken doesn’t cut it. Love this team and these boys. This too shall pass.”
Assistant head coach John Carver added on Friday: “He is heading home to be assessed by Arsenal and that’s all I can really say at the moment.
“They will give updates as they have it, but he is obviously extremely disappointed. If we do progress and move through the tournament, I am sure he will be back to support us.”
