Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin has not had a negative reaction after suffering concussion against Chelsea, Sky Sports understands.

The 21-year-old was forced out of the action after just 17 minutes at Stamford Bridge, following a clash with Marcos Alonso.

Bellerin left the ground with the rest of the Arsenal squad on Saturday evening after Chelsea's 3-1 victory, and he has suffered no ill effects from the collision over the rest of the weekend.

Alonso knocked Bellerin to the ground while scoring the opening goal - and has since apologised to his opponent after appearing to catch him with his right arm.
