Arsenal’s Piero Hincapié Faces Short Spell Out With Groin Injury

Arsenal’s new defender, Piero Hincapié, has a minor groin injury. He will be checked this week. Manager Mikel Arteta says it should not last long.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Hincapié hurt his groin after playing last week. He is not playing now. Arteta says the injury is not bad. Doctors will watch him in the next few days. Arteta thinks Hincapié will play again soon. Fans will be happy to see him back.

ARSENAL’S SEASON SO FAR

Arsenal is in fourth place in the league. They started the season with wins and losses. Their defense is good, but they are five points away from first place after five games. With some players hurt, Arsenal needs more players at the back. They bought Hincapié to help; he joined Arsenal from Bayer Leverkuson, as confirmed by previous reports. They have many games ahead in the league and Europe.

LOOKING AHEAD TO THE NEXT FIXTURE

Arsenal will play Port Vale next in the Carabao Cup. Arsenal is expected to win, but they will change some players to manage league and cup games. Port Vale is 16th in League One, and Arsenal is in the top four of the league, just behind Liverpool and level with Tottenham and Bournemouth. Hincapié’s fitness and other players’ fitness are important for Arteta as they keep playing in the league and cups.
