Arsenal FC suffered a huge injury blow, back in January when Hector Bellerin sustained an injury that ruled him out for the rest of the season in their 2-0 win over Chelsea and another one when new recruit Kieran Tierney could not feature on game day due to injury.

Bellerin who has been sidelined for about nine months was seen back in training for the first time this week as the team prepares to take on Watford this Sunday.
New signing Kieran Tierney who has also been sidelined for all the games of the start of the season is also back in training.
The two players occupy vital defensive positions for Arsenal who have struggled without their veteran Right Full Back and new signing Left Full Back. Arsenal has been forced to make do with a make-shift defensive line of Granit Xhaka, Sokratis Papastathopoulos and David Luiz, with Xhaka being deployed out of his natural position, it’s no surprise how many goals the London club had shipped in from costly mistakes form the Swiss.
With their first choice full-backs back in training, things are beginning to look positively for Arsenal who had already conceded several goals this season as a result of silly defensive lapses. Bellerin and Tierney should provide the needed cushion that their backline is in dire need of whilst still providing pace and creativity upfront as both players are pacy and reputably creative in the final third.
