Arsenal's Hincapie and Zubimendi injured in post‑match training

During a post‑match training session, Arsenal’s Piero Hincapie and Martin Zubimendi sustained injuries that will keep them out of action for the near future.

Manager Mikel Arteta acknowledged the situation, describing the injuries as “far from ideal” and expressing disappointment that the players were affected during a routine training session.

The incidents came after Arsenal’s recent league match, where the squad had already faced a demanding fixture schedule. The injuries were discovered during a standard warm‑up and light drills intended to aid recovery.

Both Hincapie and Zubimendi are key members of the squad’s depth, and their absence will force Arteta to adjust his lineup for the forthcoming games, particularly as the team prepares to face higher‑profile opponents in the upcoming fixtures.

Arsenal’s medical staff are working closely with the players to manage their recovery, and the club will monitor their progress closely as they aim to return to full fitness before the next set of matches.
