Arsenal loses Piero Hincapié to ankle injury after Lille match

Arsenal defender Piero Hincapié has been ruled out for several weeks due to an ankle injury sustained in a warm-down session after the team's victory over Leeds United. Hincapié was injured while participating in small-sided games following a comeback win. As a result, he missed the Champions League clash against Lille, where Myles Lewis-Skelly started in his place. This setback comes after Hincapié had just returned from a previous muscular injury that had sidelined him for over a month. Mikel Arteta stated the decision to hold the session was consistent with past practices, despite concerns around player safety. Arsenal faces seven matches before the November international break, including challenging fixtures against Bayern Munich and Liverpool.
