Arsenal Injury Update: Arteta Speaks on Gabriel, Hincapié and Others Ahead of West Ham Clash
Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has given the latest injury news as his side prepares to face West Ham on Saturday.
Arteta spoke about Gabriel Magalhães, who was taken off late in the 2-0 win over Olympiakos on Wednesday. While the Brazilian’s fitness is being monitored, the manager suggested there is no major cause for concern. “We’ll have to wait and see after training. We haven’t done anything today, but I’m not too worried about him,” he explained.
On new signing Piero Hincapié, Arteta confirmed that the defender will not be ready for the West Ham game but should be available after the international break.
“He’ll be ready after the break. We’ll try to speed things up, but this one comes too soon for him,” Arteta said.
Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, and Noni Madueke are still unavailable as they continue their recovery from injuries.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
