Arsenal have been handed an injury boost ahead of their Premier League visit to Fulham after summer signing Piero Hincapie was seen back in first-team training.
Hincapie picked up an injury on his debut when he came on as a late substitute in the Gunners’ 2-0 win in the Champions League over Athletic Club.
The Ecuador international, who joined from Bayer Leverkusen over the summer, missed Arsenal’s last five games prior to the international break.
But the 23-year-old now looks set to be available for selection after he took part in first-team training on Thursday alongside many of his returning teammates.
Mikel Arteta is expected to provide an update in his press conference on Friday as to whether the defender will feature in Saturday’s clash with Fulham.
