Arsenal boss Wenger reveals Bellerin return

Arsenal fullback Hector Bellerin could be back in action this weekend.

Bellerin was injured during the north London derby and has missed the last six matches.

But he returned to training this week and manager Arsene Wenger says he will be monitored today.

“From Tuesday night we have no injuries," he said.

“And everybody seemed to recover well. Coming back into the squad, Coquelin is no longer suspended and Bellerin will have team tests today.

“(Per Mertesacker and Danny Welbeck) are recovering well."

On Santi Cazorla, he added: “For me, it's a different way to say that a surgery is 'perfect'.

“You can say that it was needed and it went well. After it is important to see how he recovers.

“When you open your body in top level sport, it means two months until you can play a game again."
