Arsenal set return date for fan favourite

Arsenal right-back Hector Bellerin could reportedly be back from injury earlier than first expected, according to the Guardian.

The report claims Bellerin is now targeting a return to action for the Gunners against Aston Villa in their Premier League clash on 22 September.

If this turns out to be the case, it would be a huge boost for Arsenal manager Unai Emery, who needs top players like Bellerin available after a difficult start to life at the Emirates Stadium.
