“Kieran Tierney Faces Another Setback: Suffers Hamstring Rupture in Real Sociedad’s Copa del Rey Clash”

Kieran Tierney faces yet another setback in his career as the former Celtic star, currently on loan at Real Sociedad from Arsenal, has suffered another unfortunate injury blow.

Throughout his career, the left-back has been plagued by persistent injuries, enduring extended periods on the treatment table due to issues with his hip, groin, and shoulder.

Unfortunately, the latest problem affecting his leg adds to the string of challenges he has faced.

Tierney had recently returned to regular play for the La Liga outfit after overcoming a hamstring setback that sidelined him for nine Sociedad games in October and November.

Despite playing in every La Liga game for the club in December, Tierney’s

aspirations to stay on loan with Sociedad until the season’s end have been dampened by a recurring

rupture to his hamstring, the same one that previously kept him out of action.

According to freelance reporter Mark Walker (The Scottish Sun),

Tierney sustained a hamstring tear during Real Sociedad’s recent

quarter-final victory over Celta Vigo in the Copa del Rey.

The left-back limped off just before half-time, signaling another period on the sidelines as he tends to the injury.

Sociedad manager Imanol Alguacil commented on the situation,

acknowledging the likelihood of a hamstring rupture and expressing

disappointment, particularly considering

the team’s need for additional depth during a busy schedule.

Recovering from ruptured hamstrings can be a lengthy process,

potentially spanning weeks or even months. While early reports

speculate on the impact this may have on Tierney’s

chances for the Euro 2024 Scotland squad, it is premature to make a definitive judgment.

Tierney’s career has consistently been marred by injuries, posing a

challenge as he enters the prime years of his footballing journey.

The recurrent nature of these setbacks may impact his future prospects, particularly if he considers leaving Arsenal.

Despite his evident talent, the “injury-prone” label might dissuade some

Premier League clubs from taking a risk on him, casting a shadow over the promising trajectory he showcased

during his time with Celtic over eight years ago
