Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi sustained a knock during a warm‑down session after the Gunners' 2-1 Premier League win over Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium. Zubimendi had been an unused substitute for the match and was working through a warm‑down with other substitutes when he picked up the knock.
Piero Hincapie was also injured in the game. The defender suffered a knock to his right ankle, was visibly in pain and had to be carried off the pitch.
KEY CONTEXT
Bruno Guimaraes scored the decisive goal in the victory over Leeds. The injuries to Zubimendi and Hincapie come ahead of Arsenal’s Champions League fixture against Lille on Tuesday night; both players may need assessment before that match. The report adds that manager Mikel Arteta is likely to make several changes to his XI.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Both players are likely to be assessed ahead of the Champions League clash with Lille on Tuesday night to determine their availability.
