It seems that whenever things are beginning to look the slightest bit rosy for Arsenal, there's always an injury lurking round the corner to bring their fans back down to Earth.

And the Gunners' injury curse has struck again, with Hector Bellerin being ruled out for a month with an ankle ligament injury.

The Spanish right-back, who has recently dismissed speculation surrounding a return to Barcelona, has been in terrific form during the early stages of the season and losing him until Christmas is a bitter blow for Arsene Wenger, who will already be sweating on the fitness of Alexis Sanchez, who suffered a low grade muscle tear while on international duty for Chile.

Despite the Chilean's injury, Sanchez is still set to face Uruguay on Tuesday, a move which Arsene Wenger has blasted as 'suicidal'.
