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.
Sent off in final outing
Hincapie picked up a red card and was sent off in the 95th minute of Tuesday's 2-0 defeat against Mexico. He registered six crosses (zero accurate) and one corner before his removal.
Analysis: Following Miguel Almiron, Hincapie became the second player of the tournament to be dismissed under the new rule, sent off for covering his mouth towards Mexico forward Santiago Gimenez. It was a harsh way to end what had been a good performance as he had been dependable at the back before his dismissal with three tackles, one interception, one block and six clearances. He ends the tournament without a goal contribution from three shots and three chances created, but leaves with a strong defensive record of 12 tackles, four interceptions, 14 clearances, two blocks and one clean sheet across four games.
