How Arsenal could line up against Brighton with Hector Bellerin ruled out of potential final game for Gunners
HECTOR BELLERIN may have played his last game for Arsenal.
The Spanish right-back has been ruled out of the Gunners' final game of the season against Brighton with a knock.
Bellerin, 26, has spent eight years with Arsenal but he is expected to leave the Emirates this summer.
Boss Mikel Arteta is planning a transfer exodus and Bellerin is one of the names on the chopping block.
The full-back wants a new challenge in Europe and Arteta is eager to let him leave and land a new right-back to fill his boots.
Arsenal hope to raise as much as £35million for a player who still has two years to run on his contract — but may be forced to slash their asking price.
"Like everybody that has a contract, he remains here."
Calum Chambers is likely to fill his spot with Arsenal still within a shout of finishing seventh and qualifying for the Europa League.

Arteta is also bracing himself for difficult conversations with some of his players ahead of a busy summer.
The Spaniard added: "Well, we have a lot of conversations that have already happened and some more that will happen.
"Difficult or not, we have to face them to be able to tell each other what our feelings are and to make the right decisions."
