🎥 Héctor Bellerín has returned to Arsenal and physio provides update | OneFootball

Arsenal star Héctor Bellerín has taken a huge step in his recovery from a devastating knee injury and returned to the Arsenal training centre to begin advanced treatment for his ACL tear.

In the video below, you can see that Bellerín is off his crutches and excited to be back.

In addtion, Des Ryan, Arsenal’s Head of Sports Medicine and Athletic Development, has said that Bellerín could return to play ‘at an even higher level’ once he fully recovers.

“It’s been so busy for him, so one of the rare things he gets to experience now is the time to develop even more in the gym,”Ryan told Arsenal’s official website.

“I know with Darren, Shad and Barry looking after him, and all the physios in the first team, I can see him coming back at an even higher level.

“Obviously that will come with time once he’s back playing, but we have to remember that players reach their peak at 27 or 28 – that can vary with individuals – but Hector will have no problem rising to the challenge.

“There are three attributes that we focus on developing in academy players that are very strong in Hector: respect, humility and discipline.

“He’s got the respect of everyone around them and returns that respect.

“He will get the best out of the people around him and the people around him will get the best out of him.

“He’s so disciplined that he will do everything he can to make sure he returns at an even higher level.”

The 24-year-old, who celebrated his birthday on Tuesday, tore his ACL in his right knee against Chelsea back in January.
