Bellerin returns to Spain squad for first time since 2016 as replacement for injured Navas

Arsenal full-back Hector Bellerin has been called up to the Spain squad as replacement for Jesus Navas.

Bellerin last appeared for Spain in 2016, but is in line to play in the friendly with Netherlands on November 11 and Nations League games with Switzerland and Germany on the 14th and 17th of the month respectively.

He has been beset by injuries, but is currently enjoying an extended run in the Arsenal side and it will not be lost on Bellerin that the place in the Spain squad opened up on account of the injury to Sevilla’s Jesus Navas.
