Every Arsenal fan has been wishing Hector Bellerin well in his recovery from knee surgery after pictures were published of his time in hospital.
However, some supporters on Twitter couldn’t help but joke about the defender’s moustache and the filter used on the camera for taking the photos:
Bellerin trying to be the next poirot?

You only realise how important one is when they're away.

These photos look like they were taken in 1989

Between that mustache, the room and the Dr’s, those photos look to be about 40 yrs old.

Bellerin injured his anterior cruciate ligament in the 2-0 win over Chelsea last month, with a prognosis of six to nine months for recovery.
It means the 23-year-old will miss the rest of the season and could even be absent for the start of next campaign too depending on how slowly his rehabilitation goes.
Manager Unai Emery will be hoping that Bellerin will make a speedier recovery than predicted, as will all supporters.
The right-back has certainly been missed since being sidelined with Stephan Lichtsteiner having struggled in his absence. Ainsley Maitland-Niles could prove to be the solution, though, based on his good displays in the wing-back role.
