Gets 23 minutes off bench
Hincapie registered one tackle (zero won) and two clearances in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Chelsea.
Analysis: Hincapie came off the bench in the second half of Sunday's 2-1 win over Chelsea, registering one tackle and two clearances across his 23 minutes. The Ecuadorian has now played just 32 minutes across Arsenal's first three Premier League matches, operating as the backup option at left back and centre-back behind Riccardo Calafiori and Ezri Konsa, and his limited appearances reflect a squad hierarchy in which his starting opportunities will depend on injuries or tactical changes in the coming fixtures.
Rejoins squad for preseason
Hincapie has traveled with Arsenal's squad to Girona for the club's preseason training camp following Ecuador's exit in the round of 32 at the World Cup, the club announced.
Analysis: Hincapie impressed defensively in his first season at Arsenal following his move from Bayer Leverkusen, starting 20 of 25 Premier League matches and racking up 88 clearances, 48 tackles and 26 interceptions to go with a goal and two assists. He shared time in the backline rather than claiming an every week starting spot, leaving an opening to push for more consistent minutes this season. Hincapie is expected to build toward full training as the club's preparations continue.
