Arsenal have been hit with an injury blow, with the news that Hector Bellerin is set to miss the remainder of the club's November program.
Spanish starlet Bellerin, 21, has been in outstanding form for the Gunners during the early part of the season.
But he was forced to withdraw from the Spain Under-21 squad earlier this week, after picking up an injury in training.
Concerns over Bellerin's fitness were raised last week when he was left out of the Champions League squad to face Ludogorets.
But he returned to the Gunners line-up at the weekend, playing the full 90 minutes of the 1-1 draw with north London rivals Tottenham.
However, Bellerin - who Mirror __football revealed on Wednesday has put pen to paper on a new six-year contract at the Emirates worth over £100,000 per week - could now be set for a month on the sidelines.
Bellerin sustained ankle ligament damage during training on Tuesday, reports the IB Times.
Bellerin had originally suffered the knock during the previous international break, in Spain's Euro 2017 qualifier against San Marino.
After managing the problem during October, he missed the European fixture in Bulgaria to rest the problem, ahead of the North London derby.
But now medical tests have reportedly confirmed that ligament damage will see him spend at least three weeks out.
That means he'll miss the remainder of Arsenal's November fixtures, including the upcoming clash with Manchester United at Old Trafford and the visit of PSG in the crucial Champions League fixture.
