Nearing return
Hincapie (undisclosed) has returned to the training pitch and is closing in on a return from his muscular injury, as the defender missed Arsenal's last two league matches and was not called up by Ecuador during the international break while working his way back to full fitness, according to The Standard.
Analysis: Hincapie appears to be trending in the right direction after his muscular issue kept him out of Arsenal's last two league matches. His return would bolster the Gunners' defensive depth at both left back and center back, though Riccardo Calafiori remains ahead of him in the pecking order on the left. Hincapie has logged just 122 minutes across all competitions this season and has yet to make much of a statistical impact beyond a handful of clearances and tackles.
Spotted in practice
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.
