Arsenal received an injury update ahead of their Bayern Munich clash, with Piero Hincapie returning to training after his ankle injury, according to EPL Index. Hincapie had missed the last two games and was initially expected to be out for weeks. He is now doing individual drills.
Hincapie is not expected to feature against Bayern Munich, but is progressing without setbacks, and is likely to return before the international break. His return adds depth and mobility to Arsenal's back line, which is crucial at this stage of the season.
Other Arsenal players, including Kepa Arrizabalaga, Ceadach O’Neill, and Josh Ogunnaike, were also involved in training, with only William Saliba and Christos Tzolis absent. The squad is nearing full strength, which is a positive sign for Mikel Arteta ahead of the European match.

Source context
Arsenal have had a timely lift ahead of the Bayern Munich match, with Piero Hincapie back on the grass after his recent ankle injury. He is not ready for this one, that much is clear, but the situation looks far less serious than first feared. Hincapie missed the last two games after hurting his ankle in training following the win over Leeds. It was an odd episode. He had played the final ten minutes of that match, then joined in drills at the Emirates and suffered the injury there, before being carried off on Illan Meslier’s back. After the scans, Mikel Arteta said he could face “weeks” out. That no longer looks likely. The 24-year-old returned to training on Tuesday afternoon, working through individual drills away from the main group.
