Arsenal's Piero Hincapié: Spotted in practice

Rotowire• ·

Hincapie (muscular) has taken part in Arsenal's recent training sessions despite failing to see action in the last two league contests and the international break due to an ongoing muscle issue, Nathan Ridley of the Mirror reports.

Analysis:

Hincapie has stayed on the bench for a couple of club matches but was not called up by Ecuador while he looked to regain full fitness in time for the upcoming EPL clash against Leeds. However, he's still unlikely to earn a starting role behind Riccardo Calafiori and Ezri Konsa at left- and center-back, respectively. Hincapie's return would give the Gunners more defensive depth if he's ready to feature in the near future. He has yet to make significant contributions other than a few clearances and tackles over 122 minutes of play across all competitions this season.
