Tierney fit for Arsenal's game against Standard Liege
Arsenal manager Unai Emery has confirmed Kieran Tierney will feature against Standard Liege in the Europa League.
Tierney has managed just 77 minutes of football since joining Arsenal from Celtic and the defender missed Monday night's 1-1 draw at Manchester United after suffering a small setback in his recovery from a groin injury.
Emery has confirmed Tierney will face Standard Liege at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday as Arsenal look to continue their winning start to their Europa League campaign.
Emery says Hector Bellerin is also likely to feature against Liege if he feels comfortable on the morning of the match.
The Spaniard came on as a late substitute in the 5-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup, after missing more than 9 months with a knee injury.

Griffiths to miss Copenhagen game
Celtic manager Neil Lennon has revealed he will be without Leigh Griffiths after the striker picked up an injury ahead of the Europa League clash with FC Copenhagen on Thursday night.
The Scotland attacker and defender Greg Taylor did not travel to Denmark for the first leg of the last 32 clash, nor did long-term absentee Hatem Abd Elhamed.
As a partner to Odsonne Edouard, Griffiths has been key to the 3-5-2 formation that Lennon has preferred to the 4-2-3-1 since the start of 2020, which has brought 9 wins out of 9 in all competitions.

Budapest to stage 2022 UEFA Europa League Final
Budapest will stage its first major European Final after the UEFA Executive Committee decided that the 2022 UEFA Europa League decider will take place at the Puskas Arena.
The newly-built stadium officially opened in November 2019, with a crowd of over 65,000 watching Hungary lose 2-1 in a friendly game against Uruguay.
Named in honour of former Hungary and Real Madrid great Ferenc Puskas, the venue is one of the 12 stadiums which will be used at EURO 2020, staging 3 group stages games and a round of 16 match.
The Puskas Arena stands on the site of the old Nepstadion (People's Stadium) which had been home to Hungary's national team since 1953, the venue for a famous 7-1 defeat of England in 1954 in addition to concerts by Queen, U2, Rolling Stones and Michael Jackson.
UEFA SuperCup bound for Helsinki and Kazan
The 2022 UEFA SuperCup will be contested at Finland's Helsinki Olympic Stadium with the UEFA Executive Committee selecting Russia's Kazan Arena as the venue for the 2023 decider. Neither Helsinki nor Kazan have staged a major UEFA Final before.
As the name suggests, Helsinki Olympic Stadium was the main venue when Finland staged the 1952 Olympics. The arena originally opened in 1938 with a view to staging the 1940 Olympics, but that event was cancelled due to the Second World War. The venue closed for renovation in 2016 and is expected to be reopened in its new form later in 2020.
Kazan Arena is home to Rubin Kazan, who won the 2008 and 2009 Russian Premier League titles. The venue first opened in 2013, in time to stage the Summer Universiade, and was then chosen as one of the venues for the 2018 World Cup finals, staging 6 games including France's 4-3 win against Argentina in the round of 16 and Belgium's 2-1 quarter-finals defeat of Brazil.
