Hincapie was forced off during the warm down on Saturday after suffering an injury during Arsenal's 2-1 win over Leeds. The Ecuador international was seen clutching his right ankle after replacing Riccardo Calafiori in the 82nd minute. The severity of his injury is not yet known, casting doubt over his involvement in this week's meeting with Lille.
Arsenal are already dealing with a number of injury concerns, with Christos Tzolis suffering a hamstring injury while away with Greece and William Saliba not playing for the Gunners this season due to a long-term back injury. The loss of Hincapie will be a significant blow to Mikel Arteta's side, who are preparing for their inaugural home game of the 2026/27 Champions League campaign against Lille.
Lille are currently second in Ligue 1 and beat Le Havre 1-0 at the weekend, but have lost their European opener 3-2 to Real Betis last month. The Champions League match takes place on Tuesday, October 13, with kick-off at the Emirates scheduled for 8pm. The game will be live on talkSPORT 2, with commentary from Jim Proudfoot and former Benfica defender Scott Minto.
