HECTOR Bellerin is a HUGE injury doubt for Arsenal ahead of the North London Derby after limping out of training.
The Spaniard picked up a knock at the end of yesterday's session.
The Gunners travelled to Bulgaria to face Ludogorets in the Champions League last night.
But the right-back, 21, stayed in London and is feared to be crocked for their clash with Tottenham on Sunday.
Theo Walcott, Santi Cazorla and Nacho Monreal also did not travel to Bulgaria because of injury concerns.

Bellerin would be a massive loss for Gunners boss Arsene Wenger as he has been ever-present this season.
The Arsenal chief said: “Who did not travel is Monreal, Cazorla and Bellerin, Walcott, both are more or less injuries.
“Some of them being very close, like Walcott. Bellerin had a little incident in the last minute of training so they are not here.”
Carl Jenkinson is expected to start against Ludogorets tonight, but has only just returned from a long-term layoff.
The 24-year-old has only played once for the first-team since a horror cruciate knee injury he picked up while on loan at West Ham.
Jenkinson started in Arsenal's 2-0 win against Reading in the League Cup last week after a few reserve team games.
The 27-year-old Chilean has been in fine form this season and bagged two more goals against Sunderland at the weekend in a 4-1 win.
But Wenger is thought to be considering keeping him on the bench to start returning striker Olivier Giroud instead.
