Hector Bellerin 'fine' after suffering concussion

Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin has made an encouraging recovery after suffering from concussion during his side's defeat to Chelsea on Saturday, according to reports.

The 21-year-old full-back was forced off after just 17 minutes of the 3-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge following a collision with Chelsea's Marcos Alonso as Alonso scored the opening goal of the game.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was unhappy that the goal was allowed to stand having seen Bellerin caught in the face by the arm of Alonso while the duo competed for an aerial ball in the area.

Sky Sports News reports that Bellerin has suffered no ill-effects from the collision over the weekend, though, and is in contention to start against Hull City on Saturday.

The Spaniard will be monitored throughout the week by Arsenal, who will be looking to bounce back from successive defeats when they welcome the Tigers to the Emirates Stadium.
