Arsenal right-back Hector Bellerin has confirmed that he is walking again as he continues his recovery from injury.
The defender ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament against Chelsea in January.
He has since undergone surgery on the issue and is continuing to rehabilitate the problem, which will certainly rule him out until next season.
And in a Twitter post on Tuesday, he confirmed that he is back on his feet.
He wrote: “Feels nice to stand up againnnn (sic)”
Bellerin had made 19 appearances for the Gunners in the Premier League prior to his injury, laying on a total of five assists.
In his absence, both Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Stephan Lichtsteiner have filled in at right-back, along with Carl Jenkinson and, against Tottenham Hotspur, Shkodran Mustafi.
And Arsenal fans are desperate for the Spain international to make an earlier-than-expected return from a truly debilitating injury.
Replying to his original tweet, many supporters urged him to focus all his efforts on his recovery as he looks to force his way back into Unai Emery’s plans for the 2019-20 season.
