Arsenal vs Vitoria: Hector Bellerin, Rob Holding and Kieran Tierney set to feature in Europa League tie

Hector Bellerin is expected to be in action for Arsenal on Thursday night after missing the Premier League defeat by Sheffield United.

The Spaniard, who is working his way back to full fitness after a serious knee injury, was not part of the squad who lost 1-0 at Bramall Lane on Monday night.

However, right-back Bellerin was only left out as part of his planned recovery and is expected to feature on Thursday evening against Vitoria in the Europa League.

Other than forward Reiss Nelson, who is out with a knee injury, head coach Unai Emery has a fully-fit squad to choose from for the match at the Emirates.

Defenders Kieran Tierney and Rob Holding, who were both unused substitutes during Monday’s loss in Sheffield, are likely to feature.

Midfielder Mesut Ozil, who has played just twice this season, is also pushing to be involved in the squad for Thursday.
