The Gunners defender will play no further part for Scotland at Euro 2024 after returning to his club for treatment.
Scotland's hopes of progressing in Euro 2024 have been dealt a significant blow as Kieran Tierney has been confirmed to miss the remainder of the tournament due to a hamstring injury.
The defender was stretchered off during Scotland's crucial 1-1 draw against Switzerland, a match that kept their knockout stage aspirations alive.
Assistant coach John Carver expressed the team's disappointment over Tierney's injury, stating, "He's got an issue with his hamstring. He's heading home to be assessed by Arsenal and that's all I can really say at the moment."
Tierney's absence leaves a void in Scotland's defensive lineup, potentially prompting tactical adjustments ahead of their decisive clash with Hungary in Stuttgart.
