Arteta confirms “unfortunate” ankle injuries for Hincapie & Zubimendi
Story updated
The story in brief
28-second readMikel Arteta has confirmed that Piero Hincapie and Martin Zubimendi both suffered “unfortunate” ankle injuries during a warm-down after Saturday’s 2-1 win over Leeds. Hincapie came on for the final eight minutes, while Zubimendi was an unused substitute.
With neither getting much game time, the conditioning staff put them through an additional session that included a small-sided game with some of their teammates.
It was a routine designed to keep those on the fringes ready to contribute, and one Arsenal used regularly last season without incident. This time, it has left them without two players, with Hincapie’s injury causing greater concern.
