The ACL injury

During a league game against Chelsea on 19 January 2019 he suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee and was stretchered off of the pitch in the 70th minute at the Emirates Stadium. He was ruled out for nine months, consequently missing the remainder of the season and the start of the 2019–20 season. Arsenal coach Unai Emery perceives Bellerín as “very mature” and believes that “he is already preparing to come back stronger than before”.

On 24 September 2019, Bellerín made his return from injury as a substitute in Arsenal’s 5–0 victory against Nottingham Forest in the EFL Cup.
