Hector Bellerin will miss Arsenal’s Europa League clash at AC Milan.
Arsenal right back Bellerin has not travelled to Italy because of a knee problem which could rule him out of the next few games, including Sunday’s clash with Watford.
Bellerin, 22, was only a substitute at Brighton on Sunday and that was because of a hamstring issue, because of the knee.
Spain star Bellerin was not dropped for the Brighton game, he was on the bench as a precautionary measure and was not upset at not starting because Arsenal tried to give him a break to be fit for AC Milan.
Bellerin has been playing with the issue for a few weeks because he has been determined not to miss games and wanted to help the team.But the lack of a rest has impacted on the problem and he will now miss out on Milan which is a major blow for Arsenal.
Bellerin was desperate to play at Milan but will have to stay behind and get treatment.
