Piero Hincapie Forced Off for Arsenal Against Liverpool, Deepening Defensive Concerns

Attention turns to Mikel Arteta's post-match update with two other defenders already unavailable.

Overview

  • The Ecuador international limped off early in the second half and was replaced by Myles Lewis-Skelly around the 58th minute.
  • Arsenal have not disclosed the severity of the issue, with clarification expected from Arteta after the match.
  • Cristhian Mosquera and Riccardo Calafiori were ruled out before kickoff, narrowing options across the back line.
  • Hincapie joined on loan from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer and had started the previous 10 Premier League games after early groin problems.
  • The injury occurred during a match that could have moved Arsenal eight points clear at the top with a win.
