Arsenal fullback Hector Bellerin is upbeat on his recovery from surgery to treat his ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.

The Spaniard picked up the season-ending injury last month when he went down unchallenged during the second half of the Gunners' 2-0 win over Chelsea, with the club fearing he could miss up to nine months of action.

He returned to Spain to undergo surgery in January, and has now provided an update on his road to recovery.

The Spain international posted three pictures on his social media accounts, showing off a gruesome scar that runs vertically along his left knee.

Bellerin saw the positive side of his latest medical appointment, writing: “So far so good. It's starting to look like a knee again."
