Arsenal will face Lille in the Champions League on Tuesday, October 13, at 8 pm BST. Due to injuries, both Hincapie and Zubimendi are confirmed out of the match, with Arsenal's manager Arteta indicating that more details about their condition will be known after further scans.

Story summary

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta announced that Piero Hincapie and Martin Zubimendi, both key players, were injured during a post-match training session after Arsenal's 2-1 Premier League victory against Leeds. The Ecuador defender, aged 24, was substituted in the match at the 82-minute mark, while the Spain midfielder, aged 27, did not play. Both injuries occurred when Hincapie was carried off by goalkeeper Illan Meslier, leading Arteta to comment that it was "far from ideal" for his team's upcoming Champions League match against Lille on Tuesday. Further scans are scheduled to determine the extent of their injuries and how long they will be out, with both likely missing tomorrow's game according to Arteta.
