Injury Concern for Arsenal as Piero Hincapié Forced Off Against Liverpool
Arsenal have been handed a potential injury concern following their 0–0 draw with Liverpool after Piero Hincapié was forced off during the match at the Emirates Stadium.
What Happened to Hincapié?
Piero Hincapié, who started the game for Arsenal, picked up a knock in the second half of the Premier League clash against Liverpool. The defender appeared uncomfortable after a brief moment of play and was substituted shortly after, unable to continue the match.
He walked off the pitch without assistance, which suggests the injury may not be serious, but the decision was taken as a precaution. Myles Lewis-Skelly replaced him as Mikel Arteta adjusted his defensive setup.
Arsenal Await Medical Update
As of now, Arsenal have not released an official medical update on the extent of Hincapié’s injury. The club is expected to assess the defender in the coming days to determine whether he will be available for upcoming fixtures.
With a busy schedule ahead, any absence could be a concern for Arsenal, especially with squad rotation already stretched in defence.
