# Bellerin and Mustafi spotted back in Arsenal training

Arsenal duo Hector Bellerin and Shkodran Mustafi have both returned to training as they close in on their return to action.

Eagle-eyed Arsenal supporters would have noticed the pair in training with pictures circulating online.

Bellerin had been expected to be sidelined for some time, but that is clearly not the case, with the Spaniard joining the rest of his team-mates for training.

Both players missed the midweek defeat to Tottenham in the Carabao Cup, but could now feature against Burnley at the weekend.

Bellerin was forced off during the break against Southampton last weekend and many feared the worst.

The Spaniard’s return will come as a huge boost to Emery, with the Gunners boss keen to avoid a build-up of injuries at the back.

Mustafi has been struggling with a hamstring injury since the victory over Huddersfield nearly two weeks ago.
