Arsenal star Hector Bellerin pulls out of Spain U21 squad

Hector Bellerin has withdrawn from Spain's Under 21s squad, giving Arsenal another injury scare over the international break.

Bellerin has been replaced in the squad by Sunderland right-back Javi Manquillo after failing to finish training on Tuesday.

The Gunners have already suffered one injury blow over the break. Forward Alexis Sanchez suffered a 'low-grade muscle tear' during a training session with his nation Chile.
