Hector Bellerin to be thrown in after defensive crisis deepens.
Arsenal are set to hand a debut to teenage right-back Hector Bellerin in this evening’s crucial Champions League trip to Borussia Dortmund, report the Daily Star, after Mathieu Debuchy was ruled out for three months and both Nacho Monreal and Calum Chambers were ruled as doubtful for the Signal Iduna Park clash.

Spanish youngster Bellerin impressed with his performances from right back during the pre-season Emirates Cup tournament, with his pace and attacking intent from deep troubling Benfica in particular, but the Bundesliga runners-up are likely to represent a much sterner test for the teenager.
Whilst he will be spared going up against the world class forward Marco Reus due to the German’s injury troubles, former Manchester United man Shinji Kagawa, who scored on his return to Dortmund at the weekend, could well be the man who Bellerin is charged with keeping under wraps.
