Arsenal are sweating over the fitness of Piero Hincapie after the defender appeared to suffer an injury after the 2-1 win over Leeds.
The substitutes and the players who didn’t get off the bench took part in a warm down and a small sided game following the early kick off, and video footage shows the Ecuadorian in some distress being carried by teammates.
He replaced Riccardo Calafiori in the 82nd minute, but his availability for the midweek Champions League clash with Lille is clearly in some doubt.
We’ll wait to hear from Mikel Arteta when he meets the press on Monday, and the Gunners do have Calafiori as an option, while Myles Lewis-Skelly can do the job as well – particularly with the depth we have in midfield areas.
