Selection Headaches For Arsene Wenger: Here Are 3 Options For Arsenal To Survive Without This Spaniard

Arsenal have had good success in bringing in Barcelona youth players and developing them, and in Hector Bellerin, they have a player that is aiming to become their best Spanish import yet.

The young Spaniard has fought off competition to become the number one Right-Back at Arsenal, and has grown to become one of the best in his position in the Premier League.

It is thought that he is perhaps the fastest player in the league, and his pace has become a huge asset for Arsenal, both in defence and attack.

Unfortunately for the Goons, it is looking like the right back is out for 3-4 weeks after suffering damage to his ankle ligaments. So we look at three options Arsene Wenger has to cope with his injury.

The right-back has become something of a joke figure in North London. All fans like to have a player that takes the brunt of their criticism, and Jenkinson is that man for Arsenal.

He was signed by Arsenal from Charlton as a 19-year-old without much first team experience, and Wenger must have seen something in him because he gave him first team appearances straight away.

And despite the obvious option since being to sell him, he sent him to West Ham on loan to develop as a player and refused to do so for a third season as he saw him as being part of his plans for the season.

He is the most likely replacement for Bellerin, but it is a bit of a step-down. Now is his time to shine and to show Wenger that he has the quality to spend more time with the first team.
