Bellerin withdraws from Spain's Under-21 squad

Hector Bellerin gave Arsenal supporters a second injury scare in 24 hours, withdrawing from Spain's Under-21 squad a day after Alexis Sanchez suffered a muscular problem.

He was replaced by Sunderland full-back Javier Manquillo.

There's no official confirmation as to why Bellerin left Spain's camp ahead of a pair of U-21 Euro qualifiers against Austria, but he did miss last week's Champions League tie at Ludogorets after picking up a knock in training.

He returned to the starting lineup for last Sunday's north London derby.

Bellerin's been in the news for more positive reasons over the past few days, with the latest report suggesting he's close to signing a new six-year deal worth £30 million.
