Hector Bellerin starts for Arsenal at Hull after head injury; Kieran Gibbs in

Hector Bellerin has been passed fit to start for Arsenal against Hull City despite concerns over concussion, while Kieran Gibbs replaces Nacho Monreal in defence.

Bellerin, who suffered a head injury in last weekend's 3-1 defeat to Chelsea, resumed full training on Friday and retains his place in the starting lineup despite earlier warnings from concussion campaigners to handle the full-back with care.

Arsene Wenger therefore makes just one change for the clash, with Gibbs coming in at left-back and Monreal on the bench.

Mohamed Elneny, back from the African Nations Cup, is also named among the substitutes with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain retaining his place alongside Francis Coquelin in central midfield.
