Piero Hincapie has returned to full training with Arsenal ahead of their match against Everton. The left-back was sidelined for less than two weeks due to an ankle injury sustained during a post-match warm-down after a game against Leeds United. Initially, he was expected to be out for three weeks, but his swift recovery allows for a potential inclusion in upcoming matchday squads. Manager Mikel Arteta previously expressed concerns over the warm-down strategy following the injuries to Hincapie and teammate Martin Zubimendi, who has since returned to action. Hincapie's return will enable both him and Riccardo Calafiori to share defensive duties as the schedule intensifies.
