Hector Bellerin ankle injury: Arsenal defender crocked in Spain Under-21s’ victory over San Marino
Arsene Wenger will be worried after his right-back went down in latter stages of clash and reports suggest he missed training
HECTOR BELLERIN has given Arsenal a real fright after injuring his ankle during Spain’s Under-21 victory over San Marino.
The Gunners right-back was surprisingly overlooked for the first team by new boss Julen Lopetegui.
And it appears it’s a double whammy for Bellerin as his night with the Spanish kids ended painfully.
Reports in Spain suggest he sat out training yesterday due to the knock — and it is unclear whether he will face Estonia U-21s on Monday.
Bellerin and Co. secured a 3-0 win over the minnows in their Euro 2017 qualifier with goals from Munir, Denis Suarez and Jorge Mene.
