Arsenal have suffered a worrying double injury setback ahead of their upcoming UEFA Champions League clash against Lille, with Martin Zubimendi and Piero Hincapié both facing potential spells on the sidelines.
The Gunners are preparing for their first home match in this year’s Champions League campaign on Tuesday, but they could be without two important members of their squad.
Both players reportedly picked up ankle injuries during the warm-down session following Arsenal’s 2-1 victory over Leeds United.
However, the early indications suggest that Hincapié’s injury could be more serious than Zubimendi’s, raising further concerns for Mikel Arteta ahead of the European encounter.
Arsenal will now be hoping for positive updates on the pair’s fitness as they assess the extent of the injuries and their availability for the Lille match.
With a crucial European fixture approaching, the potential absence of both players could present Arteta with another selection headache.
The big question now is: will either player recover in time to face Lille?
