Hincapie injury adds to Arsenal issues after Guimaraes rescue act

The 28-year-old has yet to start a Premier League game and in his cameos this season has looked far from the level required as a striker who could fire Arsenal to back-to-back titles.

Following on from their comprehensive 3-0 defeat at Brighton last time out, Arsenal fell behind in a league match for a third time in four league matches - and only a David Raya penalty save stopped them from trailing at Sunderland as well.
