Arsenal have confirmed that Hector Bellerin has ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee and will undergo surgery in the coming days, ruling him out for the rest of the season.
Bellerin was stretchered off to be replaced Mohamed Elneny in the 69th minute of Arsenal's 2-0 win over Chelsea on Saturday, with Unai Emery admitting afterwards that 'the first impression is not positive'.
Sure enough, Arsenal have now confirmed via their official website that Bellerin will require surgery followed by a rehabilitation process of six to nine months, meaning that he may even miss the start of the 2019/20 season.
