Arsenal's Mikel Arteta laments injuries to Hincapie, Zubimendi
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta stated it is “far from ideal” that players Piero Hincapie and Martin Zubimendi sustained injuries during a post-match training session following the Gunners’ 2-1 Premier League win. The training session was intended for players who did not play the full 90 minutes or did not feature in the match at Emirates Stadium.
Hincapie, 24, was carried off by goalkeeper Illan Meslier, while Zubimendi, 27, was confirmed to be injured as well. Arteta mentioned that both players would undergo further scans to assess their injuries and determine the recovery timeline.
He humorously suggested that avoiding training could prevent injuries but acknowledged the necessity of maintaining player rhythm. Hincapie has made three Premier League appearances this season, while Zubimendi has appeared five times, primarily as a substitute.
