Illan Meslier

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta admits it is 'far from ideal' that Piero Hincapie and Martin Zubimendi were injured in a post-match training session after the 2-1 Premier League win over Leeds, with both players awaiting scans ahead of Tuesday's Champions League tie against Lille. Hincapie was carried off by goalkeeper Illan Meslier, and Arteta conceded the defender's ankle problem appears the more serious of the two.

Arsenal defender Piero Hincapie was carried off during the post-match warm-down following the 2-1 win over Leeds, clutching his right ankle as he was helped from the pitch. The club now faces an anxious wait to learn the severity of the problem for a player who has already struggled with muscular issues this season.
