I know that the Arsenal squad does still contain the France international right back Matthieu Debuchy, as the pictures on the Arsenal website of the players training before the Burnley match reminded us, while Rob Holding the young summer signing from Bolton Wanderers has played in the position as well as his more usual central defensive role.
Having said that I think it is fair to say that Hector Bellerin is one of the players that Arsene Wenger would least like to lose to an injury or disciplinary problem, so the Frenchman will have been nervously waiting to find out the extent of the injury Bellerin picked up playing for the Spain under 21s on Wednesday.
Metro has revealed that the Arsenal defender had been sent for a scan on a suspected muscle injury and that could have seen him spend a lengthy spell in the treatment room. But fortunately for us the speedy Spaniard is now back with his international teammates after the results were better than expected.
Bellerin has not missed a single minute of action for Arsenal in the Premier League and Champions League so far this season so hopefully this injury scare will mean that he misses the next Spanish under 21 game against Estonia on Monday and comes back to London not only fit but refreshed and ready to fire for the Gunners.
