Arsenal injury blow as summer-signing carried off after Leeds win

Arsenal defender Piero Hincapié reportedly suffered an ankle injury during a post-match warm-down following Arsenal's 2-1 victory over Leeds United on Saturday. According to BBC Sport journalist Sami Mokbel, the 24-year-old Ecuadorian international was carried off the pitch after clutching his right ankle, despite having successfully completed an eight-minute substitute appearance without incident during the match.

Hincapié had only recently returned to training after missing international duty with Ecuador, leaving his availability uncertain ahead of Arsenal's upcoming Champions League fixture against Lille on Tuesday. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta secured the league win courtesy of goals from Riccardo Calafiori and Bruno Guimarães, but the club has not yet provided official confirmation regarding the severity of Hincapié's setback.
