Hector Bellerin has said he is a "few weeks" away from returning to first-team training with Arsenal, and he hopes to be back in competitive action within two months.
The Spaniard has not played since he was stretchered off in Arsenal's 2-0 Premier League win over Chelsea on January 19 with an anterior cruciate knee ligament injury. He underwent surgery at the end of January, ruling him out for six to nine months.
Arsenal's 2019-20 Premier League campaign starts on Sunday with a trip to Newcastle United.
Bellerin, 24, will still not be available for the match at St.
