Hector Bellerin is furious with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger after he was dropped to the bench just two hours before the defeat by Brighton.
According to The Sun, the Spain international was set for a starting berth at right back after training in the position for two days prior to the clash on the south coast.
But the Frenchman opted for Calum Chambers — who had just four Premier League outings to his name this season before Saturday — to fill the role before the 2-1 loss.
Bellerin reportedly believes he is being made the fall guy for the Gunners' woeful run of recent form, which has seen them lose four games on the bounce in all competitions.
