The Scotsman was set to start against West Ham but was pulled from the XI before a ball had been kicked.
During the pre-match warm-up, Tierney felt something and immediately left the field.
In his place, Sead Kolasniac came in but it did not have a detrimental effect on the result.
Arsenal emerged 2-1 winners after a late goal from Eddie Nketiah to make it two wins out of two.
But fans were concerned with the state of Tierney, who had an injury-ravaged season last year and there are fears history is repeating itself.

However, Arteta has moved to quell those fears after insisting that the ex-Celtic star is ok.
He said: "Kieran is fine. He had a little muscular discomfort in the last few days.
"He tried today and worked in the warm-up but he wasn't feeling comfortable today.

"We believed that he was going to be fit but during the warm-up, in the last 10 minutes, he said he wasn't feeling OK.
"We had to make a decision. We were prepared just in case and Kola came on and had a good game."
The Gunners initially took the lead through Alexandre Lacazette before Michail Antonio equalised on the cusp of half-time.
Though they lacked the same fervour they played with against Fulham, Arsenal still left the match with all three points.
With five minutes to go, Nketiah grabbed the winner and Arteta was over the moon.
"What I like is the approach the boys had in the last 25 minutes where I could see they were a bit down and then they lift it," Arteta said.
"Probably a few months ago we would have drawn or lost that game and today we win it.
"In the end you have to find a way because there will be games like this through the season."

Boris Johnson admits a coronavirus second wave is coming to the UK
The Prime Minister is to reportedly meet medical experts this weekend on how the UK will tackle the second wave of Covid-19, with fresh curbs to be introduced which could see households banned from mixing
Boris Johnson will address the nation on TV this week to reveal plans of a winter lockdown, according to reports.
The Prime Minister could issue tougher lockdown restrictions for Brits for the rest of the year as the number of new coronavirus cases continues to rise.
New rules could see households banned from mixing, cutting opening hours at pubs and issuing tougher penalties for whose who flout them.
A senior government source told The Sun : "There’s not much on the cards to look forward to. The next six months’ll be pretty s***.”
A No10 source described reports about Mr Johnson making a TV address as speculation. The PM has however given TV addresses or press conferences when there are major rule changes in the past.
Medical advisors are said to be briefing Mr Johnson this weekend on what they would like to see happen to tackle the recent surge in cases.

Chief medical officer Professor Chris Whitty and chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance are set to meet the PM on Sunday to outline plans for what could happen if no tougher action is taken to control the virus.
It's understood City Hall and government officials were due to meet on Sunday afternoon to look at the data ahead of possible restrictions in London.

Matt Hancock warned Britain is at a "tipping point" and repeatedly refused to rule out fresh England-wide measures.
The Health Secretary told Sky News: "We have a choice. Either everybody follows the rules - the rule of six and the need to self-isolate if you have a positive test or if you are contacted by NHS Test and Trace - or we will have to take more measures."
Asked if there could be another national lockdown if people don't follow the rules, Mr Hancock said: "That's exactly right. I don't rule it out. I don't want to see it."
It comes as new rules come into force that anyone who tests positive for coronavirus and even suspected carriers who ignore the two-week quarantine rule will be fined £1,000.
And the low-paid will get £500 so they can isolate at home.
That will rise to £10,000 for repeat offenders and cases of blatant non-compliance.

The Government’s original lockdown architect, Professor Neil Ferguson of Imperial College London, warned tougher restrictions were needed “sooner rather than later”.
