Arsenal's Piero Hincapié: Available for Leeds clash

Rotowire• ·

Hincapie (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's Premier League clash against Leeds United after recovering from a muscular injury, according to coach Mikel Arteta.

Analysis:

Hincapie has completed his recovery from the muscular issue that forced him to miss Arsenal's last two Premier League matches and kept him out of Ecuador's squad during the international break. The defender recently returned to training and has now been cleared for Saturday's matchup, providing manager Arteta with additional options at both left-back and center-back. However, Hincapie has played just 122 minutes across all competitions this season and remains behind Riccardo Calafiori in the pecking order on the left side of defense. He should initially provide depth off the bench as he looks to regain match fitness and compete for a more prominent role.
