Arsenal receives an injury boost as Piero Hincapie returns to training ahead of their Premier League clash against Fulham, while Ben White and Martin Zubimendi miss out.
Ahead of their Premier League clash against Fulham, Arsenal defender Piero Hincapie has returned to training after recovering from a minor groin problem.
The Ecuador international, who signed for the Gunners on loan from Bayer Leverkusen, has been missing from the matchday squad since his debut in mid-September.
Hincapie’s return to training is a welcome development for Mikel Arteta’s side, who have been struggling with injuries to key players.
While Hincapie’s return is positive news, Ben White and Martin Zubimendi were missing from training, raising concerns about their availability for the Fulham match.
Arteta will provide an update on White’s condition in tomorrow’s press conference, while Zubimendi’s situation remains unclear.
Although Hincapie is back, Arsenal still have more injury concerns as Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, Noni Madueke, and Martin Odegaard all sidelined.
Odegaard’s knee injury is expected to keep him out until the November international break, while Havertz and Madueke are likely to miss several weeks.
Despite their injury challenges, Arsenal remains in top form, currently sitting at the top of the Premier League table. A win against Fulham would extend their lead and put pressure on their rivals.
Fulham, on the other hand, will be without some key players due to injuries, making it an ideal opportunity for Arsenal to end their winless streak at Craven Cottage.
