Hincapié and Zubimendi suffer warm-down injuries but Arsenal get Saliba boost
Arsenal have been dealt a double injury blow with Piero Hincapié and Martín Zubimendi both sustaining problems during a warm-down session. Manager Mikel Arteta confirmed the news, though the severity of both injuries has not yet been disclosed. On a more positive note, William Saliba is back available after his own fitness concerns, reinforcing Arsenal's defensive options. The mixed update comes at a key point in the season with important fixtures on the horizon for the Gunners.
Read the full story at theguardian.comArsenal's squad depth is being tested in a familiar way: key players going down at an inconvenient moment. Hincapié's absence leaves Arteta short in central defence, and losing Zubimendi removes a key midfield presence, but Saliba's return steadies the back line. How quickly the two new absentees recover will shape Arsenal's selection choices and tactical flexibility in the coming weeks.
