Arsenal fullback Hector Bellerin is playing with painkillers.

The Gunners right-back has suffered a tear in his right groin, which has made crossing the ball a hard task for the Spaniard.

Bellerin picked up the injury in training ahead of Arsenal's win over Newcastle in February.

The Athletic says Bellerin has been fighting through the discomfort in recent weeks and the right-back has been taking painkillers.

Bellerin has played a full 90 minutes just 10 times since returning from injury in September 2019.
