Arsenal take on Everton in the Premier League on Sunday and full-back Hector Bellerin could be in line to start for this game.
The right-back has had an injury-prone season but after having finally returned back from injury he had been getting regular starts during the past couple of matches. But the Spaniard was once again absent from a matchday squad as the Gunners beat Olympiacos in the Europa League on Thursday.
Hector Bellerin missed the match due to groin trouble and there have been doubts over his participation against Everton on Sunday as well.
Now though the club have confirmed that Bellerin has returned back to full training and is in line to play against Carlo Ancelotti’s men.
Sokratis played at right-back in midweek vs Olympiacos but if Hector Bellerin cannot make himself fit in time then it should be Maitland-Niles who will play on the right-hand side.
Here are all the injury updates for Arsenal, as per the club’s official website:
