Arsenal defender Piero Hincapié and midfielder Martín Zubimendi will miss Tuesday's Champions League home game against Lille, manager Mikel Arteta confirmed on Monday. Both were injured on Saturday in a training session at the Emirates Stadium after the 2-1 Premier League win over Leeds United.
Hincapié was carried off. "They are both going to miss tomorrow's match for sure," Arteta said, adding that both were having further scans and that "Piero's one looks a little bit more serious."
Arteta defended the practice of training after games. "It's very easy, you don't train. If you don't train, you don't get injured," he said, noting that such an incident had never happened in his seven years at the club. Arsenal won their league-phase opener against Napoli.
