Injury deemed serious
Hincapie (undisclosed) has suffered a serious injury, but little else has been disclosed, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "Yes, it was [a serious injury]. No, [I don't know how long he is out]."
Analysis: Hincapie will hit the sidelines for an unknown amount of time after undergoing tests on his muscle injury. Unfortunately, this comes at a brutal time, with the club not only competing for three trophies, but the defender's option for the World Cup now at risk if this is truly serious. More is likely to be released in the coming days as they diagnose the injury further, but Riccardo Calafiori will be expected to start at left-back moving forward.
Withdraws from international duty
Hincapie has withdrawn from the Ecuador national team due to an injury, according to Sky Sports.
Analysis: Hincapie is back in England for the rest of the international break after he suffered a slight injury in the Ecuadorian camp, needing medical assessment from his club. Most of this is likely to preserve his health as the end of the league season approaches, not risking any further injury. In most cases, the defender will likely be available in the coming games for the club, just needing to train again.
