Arsenal players Hincapié and Zubimendi injured in post-match training
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta confirmed that Piero Hincapié and Martín Zubimendi suffered injuries during a post-match training session at the Emirates Stadium on Monday.
Injuries sustained after Leeds victory
The two players were hurt while participating in a planned warm-down following Saturday's 2-1 Premier League win against Leeds. Hincapié was carried off the pitch by goalkeeper Illan Meslier, and Zubimendi was also confirmed as injured shortly after.
Status for upcoming Champions League
Both players are scheduled to undergo scans on Monday to determine the extent of their ankle injuries. Arteta stated that Hincapié's condition appears more serious and that both men will miss Tuesday's Champions League match at home against Lille.
Manager comments on routine
Arteta described the situation as far from ideal but refused to change the post-match training routine for players who did not feature in the game. He noted that such injuries have not occurred during his seven years at the club and joked about avoiding training to prevent them.
