Arsenal defender Piero Hincapie had to be carried off the field during the Gunners' warm-down after their victory over Leeds. The defender featured in the game as a substitute but went down clutching his right ankle, completing some further work following the full-time whistle.
Mikel Arteta's side came from behind to earn three points at the Emirates. James Justin opened the scoring for Daniel Farke's team as the north London side struggled to find their rhythm. Riccardo Calafiori got the Gunners back on level terms following a smart move before Bruno Guimaraes scored an impressive winner in the 70th minute.
But Arteta's mood may have soured when he discovered one of his players suffered a late injury outside of match action. Back-up goalkeeper, Illan Meslier, carried Hincapie from the pitch as he was spotted holding his right ankle.
Last month, Hincapie suffered from muscular problems that saw him miss the Carabao Cup against Ipswich Town. He will now have to wait to discover if he faces a more significant spell on the sidelines.
