Arsenal star Hector Bellerin builds Lego replica of Washington DC’s Capitol building

Hector Bellerin has plenty of time on his hands as he continues on the long road to recovery from his long-term knee injury.

The Arsenal defender suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament against Chelsea last month and will not play again this season.

But he has kept fans entertained by documenting much of his rehabilitation process on social media, and the latest entry is sure to entertain many.

The Spaniard has built a stunning Lego replica of Washington DC’s Capitol building, proudly showing off the construction in an Instagram story.

It would set you back £85 to build your own Lego version of the home of the United States Congress.

Bellerin appeared to be proud of his effort, writing ‘I’m done’ as he showed off the transformation from a rubble of Lego bricks to the finished article.

It comes after he underwent therapy alongside former Napoli winger Ezequiel Lavezzi earlier this week.

He has also recently spent time with former Barcelona team-mate Gerard Deulofeu and has appeared as positive as possible on social media despite the prospect of a lengthy lay-off, which could see him sidelined for up to nine months.

Bellerin had made 19 Premier League appearances before sustaining the injury to his left knee. He underwent surgery at the end of January.

Since joining from Barcelona aged just 16, the Spaniard has racked up 181 games and scored seven goals.
