Mikel Arteta Confirms Injuries for Hincapie and Zubimendi
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta confirmed that players Piero Hincapie and Martin Zubimendi will be unavailable for the UEFA Champions League match against Lille on October 12 due to injuries sustained during a training session. The injuries occurred following Arsenal's 2-1 Premier League victory over Leeds United.
Arteta expressed concern over Hincapie's condition but did not provide a specific recovery timeline for either player. The injuries happened during a session aimed at maintaining fitness for players with limited game time against Leeds.
Arteta remarked on the unfortunate timing of the injuries but defended the necessity of regular training, stating that avoiding training could lead to a lack of match readiness. He noted that similar training sessions had been conducted 37 times in the previous season without incident.
