Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin might be grateful that he won't return from injury against Manchester City on Sunday afternoon
That's because he won't be up against Raheem Sterling.
The England international is enjoying yet another fine goalscoring season for the defending Premier League champions and heads to the Emirates Stadium having found the back of the net 15 times across all competitions.
A large portion of those goals have come when he's operated from a wide left position.
And that means whoever operates at right-back at the Emirates Stadium - whether it's Ainsley Maitland-Niles or Calum Chambers now that Bellerin is deemed unfit - will have a tough time on their hands tracking Sterling's run.
The prospect of going up against the 25-year-old is likely to bring back some bad memories for Bellerin.
Earlier in the season the Spaniard sat down with fellow full back Kieran Tierney to discuss a range of topics and the subject of toughest opponents came up.
The Scotland international recalled facing Kylian Mbappe and Daniel Alves when Celtic were thumped 7-1 by a Paris Saint-Germain side that was managed by Unai Emery at the time.
While, Bellerin couldn't pick between two City players.
"I think, for me, when we play against City, usually with like Leroy [Sane] or Raheem," he admitted . "I think they're usually tough games.
"Because also, it's hard when you have the ball for the whole game kind of thing and then you've got players going 1v1 towards you, it's not the same as when you're sitting and running all the time.
"And then you've got one of those quick players going 1v1 against you. So I think those are the hardest rivals to play against, yeah."
As mentioned above, Bellerin is out of the City clash after pulling out of the starting line-up against West Ham United on Monday night as he suffered a hamstring problem in the warm-up.
Ahead of the meeting, the Gunners released an injury update.
"Hector Bellerin . Tight right hamstring. Will miss Manchester City (h). Aiming to resume training next week," a statement reads.
