Unai Emery Provides Fitness Updates on Hector Bellerin & Rob Holding Ahead of Man Utd Clash

Arsenal manager Unai Emery has revealed that right-back Hector Bellerin is still a while away from being able to start a game - despite making his return from a serious knee injury.

The Spaniard was a late substitute in Tuesday's 5-0 win over Nottingham Forest, but managed to grab an assist moments after coming on, leaving many fans believing that Bellerin looked ready to return to the starting lineup.
