Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney has praised manager Mikel Arteta.

Tierney has struggled with injury problems this season, but he is finally fit and raring to go.

The Scotland international has played in the club's last two games since the Premier League restart.

And he is delighted that he gets to learn so much from a manager like Arteta.

"He's been brilliant," Tierney told Sky Sports about his coach.

"Obviously I was injured when he first came in and that was so unfortunate because you want to impress the new manager and get off to a good start. But even then, he was good with me. He watched me from afar and asked for updates on how I was doing.

"It's been an absolute joy to train with him. I feel as if I'm learning every single day and I was grateful for the opportunity he gave me against Manchester City.

"It was my first game in so long and a big game for the club, so for him to trust me was brilliant."
