Hector Bellerin injury confirmed as he is sent back to Arsenal

The Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin was reported yesterday as having been pulled out of training with the Spain U21 side, apparently, although the nature of this has not been officially confirmed, with an ear injury.

What has been confirmed though, is that he has not just been pulled out of training, but he has also been replaced in the U21 squad by Javier Manquillo, and the youngster will be returning to the Emirates for treatment.

The official Spanish Selection (@SeFutbol) twitter account has released this announcement.

If it is just his ear, then we can still be very hopeful of Bellerin being fit to face Man United next week, but if he sustained some concussion I believe there is a statutary rest period.

Fingers crossed that it is not serious at all….
