Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta warned that there weren’t many good signs about Piero Hincapié’s fitness ahead of Wednesday’s Carabao Cup semi-final against Chelsea in a typically vague injury update.
Hincapié was forced off the pitch (without any help from Gabriel Martinelli) inside the opening hour of Arsenal’s goalless draw with Liverpool last Thursday. The muscular issue which the summer recruit picked up was enough to force him to miss this weekend’s FA Cup trip to Portsmouth.
