The Story in 60 Seconds

Piero Hincapié and Martín Zubimendi were both absent from Arsenal training on Monday ahead of their UEFA Champions League clash against Lille. Hincapié sustained an ankle injury during a post-match warm-down following Arsenal's win over Leeds United and had to be helped off the pitch, while Zubimendi also appeared to pick up a knock during the same warm-down.

Manager Mikel Arteta faces additional selection issues as Christos Tzolis and William Saliba were also missing from full team training. Tzolis is recovering from a hamstring injury, while Saliba trained separately on the grass as he works his way back from a back issue that has kept him out all season.
