Manchester City on Saturday, with player and club feeling confident he will be allowed to curtail a 14-day spell of self-isolation.

Tierney was required to quarantine for two weeks from last Tuesday after he was deemed to have been in close contact with Stuart Armstrong, who tested positive for Covid-19, while on
