Arsenal set for big injury boost for Fulham clash?

Arsenal could receive a big injury boost ahead of the Premier League clash against Fulham on the road after the international break.

The Gunners have had an impressive start to the league season and they have picked up 16 points after seven games into the campaign.

They will restart their title pursuit after the interlul at Craven Cottage. Ahead of the London derby, they could receive a timely injury boost.

Piero Hincapie was nursing a minor groin injury during the last set of fixtures, but manager Mikel Arteta said that he is not far off from a return.

Football.london claim that Hincapie is anticipated to return to complete training in the coming days, which is a huge boost for the club.

The Ecuadorian has been signed to provide quality and depth in defence. He can operate as a central defender or from the left-back role.

Hincapie's return could see Arteta rotate his left centre-back on occasions. Gabriel Magalhaes could be rested in some European and Cup games.
