Arsenal get Tierney injury boost but Cedric ruled out of Carabao Cup clash with Leicester

Arsenal have received an injury boost as Kieran Tierney's groin injury has been confirmed as minor.

Tierney injured himself in the warm-up prior to Saturday's match against West Ham, with Sead Kolasinac replacing him at left-back.

Following the match, which the Gunners won 2-1 thanks to a late Eddie Nketiah goal, head coach Mikel Arteta tried to calm fears over Tierney's injury.

"Kieran is fine. He had a little muscular discomfort in the last few days. He tried today and worked in the warm-up but he wasn't feeling comfortable today," Arteta said.
