Arsenal 'seeking further advice' after Kieran Tierney is told to isolate for 14 days following Stuart Armstrong's positive Covid-19 test on Scotland duty... with club insistent full-back has broken NO social distancing rules

Arsenal have announced they are 'seeking further advice' after Kieran Tierney was told to isolate for 14 days following a team-mate's positive coronavirus test.

Tierney is away with Scotland on international duty and following news of Stuart Armstrong's positive test on Wednesday, the full-back, along with Celtic's Ryan Christie, were told to isolate having been identified by the Lothian Health Protection Team as 'close contacts' to Armstrong.

A statement by Arsenal insists that Tierney has not breached any Covid-19 protocol and the club are looking into their options with the player now set for a period of 14 days in isolation.
