Hector Bellerin Reportedly Out for Minimum of 6 Months After Knee Injury

Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin will reportedly miss the rest of 2018-19 because of the injury he picked up against Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday.

According to David Hytner of the Guardian, the right-back has suffered a ruptured cruciate knee ligament and is set to be sidelined for the next six months. As such, his main aim is now likely to be getting fit for the start of the 2019-20 term.

"Bellerin will seek further medical opinions over the coming days which will help to place an exact time frame on his absence," the report continued.
