Former Celtic and West Ham striker, Frank McAvennie, has voiced concerns over Kieran Tierney’s recurring injury troubles. The 26-year-old, currently on loan at Real Sociedad, suffered a significant hamstring tear during a recent match against Athletic Bilbao, leading to uncertainties about his return to action.
Tierney, who has battled injuries throughout his career, was omitted from Steve Clarke‘s Scotland squad for their critical clash against Spain and an upcoming friendly against France. This latest setback adds to the list of fitness problems that have plagued the talented left-back.
McAvennie, while speaking exclusively to Football Insider, shared his thoughts on Tierney’s situation. He expressed his hope that the injury is not a recurring issue but acknowledged the player’s propensity to dive wholeheartedly into every game and training session, which can sometimes lead to injuries.
The former Celtic star suggested that Tierney’s injury woes may not be directly related to his previous injuries but rather his relentless playing style. Tierney’s commitment and aggression on the field have endeared him to fans but have also contributed to his injury-prone nature.
McAvennie believes that Tierney will need to exercise caution upon his return to training. He expects Tierney to be sidelined for a month or so, and his extensive experience with injuries might help him navigate this setback.
While it remains uncertain how long Tierney will be out of action, the concern is not just for his short-term availability but also for his future at Real Sociedad. The loan move was intended to provide Tierney with more consistent playing time, but persistent injuries could hinder his progress.
As Tierney faces another rehabilitation period, fans, coaches, and teammates will hope for a swift and full recovery, allowing him to return to the field stronger and better equipped to manage his playing style without risking further injuries.
