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."
