Bellerin, who has been sidelined since taking a kick in the ankle from Tottenham's Danny Rose, boasts a reindeer hat - which breaks mid-way through the clip, whilst Cazorla is swaddled in Christmas lights and baubles.

The video was released in support of The Arsenal Foundation’s Global Charity Partner, Save the Children and the Christmas Jumper Day campaign.

The North London outfit have been working with Save the Children to build football pitches for vulnerable children in Iraq and Indonesia and donated £500,000 during a recent legend's fixture to build football pitches in Jordan and Somalia.

This week Bellerin revealed he'll be fit to play again within four weeks as his recovery from an ankle injury is going "better than expected".

Meanwhile midfielder Cazorla, who had has been sent to Spain to see specialists earlier this month, is yet to return to first team training after picking up the injury in the Champions League tie against Ludogorets.
