Arsenal defender Piero Hincapie has successfully resumed full training in anticipation of the Premier League encounter with Everton at the Emirates Stadium tomorrow.
The Ecuadorian international had been battling a groin injury earlier in the season but made a complete recovery during the international break.
Unfortunately, he experienced a setback upon his return, dealing with an ankle injury in recent weeks. However, he has now been declared fully fit.
Riccardo Calafiori has established himself as the first-choice left-back for Arsenal this season, but careful management of his workload is essential to avoid injuries.
Hincapie is expected to feature in upcoming matches as part of a rotational approach. He might not start against Everton tomorrow, but could be selected for the game against Fleetwood Town.
Arsenal will face League Two side Fleetwood Town in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday evening, with widespread squad changes anticipated.
In the short term, Arsenal’s primary objective is to defeat Everton in the league to maintain pressure on Manchester City, the current league leaders.
