Tierney has been out injured since June when he suffered a hamstring injury while playing for Scotland at Euro 2024. He hasn't featured for Arsenal since the Community Shield in 2023.
However, the full-back, 26, is in contention to play against Sporting on Tuesday night.
Tierney trained with his team-mates in London before the flight to Portugal and Mikel Arteta is confident the Scotland internationalist is ready to make an impact.

“Everybody in the squad is fully fit and available to start the game,” said Arteta.
“We have Kieran Tierney after a long injury, it’s great news that he’s back, he’s been training with the team and he’s at the level to participate.”
Arteta had said of Tierney last month: "I think he’s quite close, he looks good, really sharp.
"He hasn’t trained with the team yet, hopefully, he can do that in the next week or two."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
