Fans think Arsenal’s Hector Bellerin has travelled back to the 1980s for injury treatment
Defender is set to undergo surgery on ruptured cruciate ligament but sent fans into frenzy with bizarre snap
FOOTBALL fans think Hector Bellerin has travelled back in time to the 1980s for injury treatment.
The Arsenal star uploaded a photo to social media showing him in a medical room being attended to by three doctors.
Bellerin suffered anterior cruciate ligament damage to his left knee during the recent 2-0 win over Chelsea at the Emirates.
And he has gone abroad for surgery, which will rule him out of action for up to nine months.
However, supporters appear to be seeing the funny side of the situation, with many in awe of the style of the snap.
It has a rather vintage-era look about it, and fans could not resist teasing Bellerin as a result.
One wag wrote: “Hope you’re fit in time for Mexico 86.”
Another said: “Why does this photo look like it was taken decades ago?”
One tweeted: “You look like Pablo Escobar’s second in command for God’s sake.”
Another added: “Please tell me this is a picture of senor Bellerin, taken back in 1984?”
