Hector Bellerin hopes to be available for Arsenal this month.

The Spanish full-back, 24, told the BBC he is on the brink of returning to full training, eight months after being stretchered off with a horror knee injury against Chelsea.

Arsenal are set to start the season with Ainsley Maitland-Niles at right-back with Bellerin still recovering from the ACL rupture that required surgery.

The Spaniard is just one of a few huge names set to start the season on the injury table, including team-mate Alexandre Lacazette.
