Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin out for a month after suffering an ankle injury against Tottenham

Arsenal will be without defender Hector Bellerin for up to four weeks after the Spaniard was ruled out with an ankle injury.

Bellerin suffered a kick to the ankle by Tottenham's Danny Rose during a challenge in the closing stages of their 1-1 draw in the north London derby on November 6.

The Spaniard was hopeful the problem would resolve itself as he trained with the Spanish U21s during the international break, but it has not cleared up and he could now face a month on the sidelines.
