Arteta addresses Tierney's injury worry following his return to Arsenal.

Kieran Tierney made his way back into the Arsenal starting lineup on Wednesday night, but unfortunately, he had to leave the game early due to a potential injury. Mikel Arteta, however, has assured fans that there is no cause for concern and it was just a case of cramps for the Scottish player.

The Gunners faced off against Crystal Palace in the quarter-final of the Carabao Cup at the Emirates Stadium, and it turned out to be a thrilling match. Although the Eagles took an early lead through Jean-Philippe Mateta, Gabriel Jesus's hat-trick secured a 3-2 victory for Arsenal, despite a late goal from Palace's Eddie Nketiah.

Tierney played a significant role in the game, impressing both defensively and offensively with his attacking skills. Arteta praised his performance, stating that they played to his strengths and utilized him as a left-winger at times. The manager also emphasized the importance of understanding the players' strengths and playing them accordingly.

The 27-year-old left-back's return to the starting lineup was a pleasant surprise, considering his struggles last season and loan spell at Real Sociedad. Arteta expressed his happiness with the win and reaching the semi-finals of the competition.

The manager also mentioned the team's character and desire to turn things around after conceding an early goal. He highlighted the adjustments made in the second half, which helped the team gain control and create more scoring opportunities.

However, the star of the night was Gabriel Jesus, who returned to goal-scoring form in a spectacular fashion with his first hat-trick since October. Arteta praised the Brazilian's unique ability to create and innovate on the field, making him a valuable asset for the team.

Overall, it was a great night for Arsenal, and Arteta hopes to continue this momentum in the upcoming months with players like Tierney and Jesus in top form.
