Arsenal handed huge injury boost before Fulham clash

Arsenal have been handed a huge injury boost ahead of the Premier League clash against Fulham on the road this weekend.

The Gunners have been brilliant in the Premier League and they are presently one point ahead of Liverpool at the top of the table.

They have the opportunity to extend their lead at Fulham on Saturday.

Ahead of the encounter, they have received a big boost with Piero Hincapie back in training after recovering from a groin issue.

The Ecuadorian signed from Bayer Leverkusen on loan last summer and he has played just six minutes against Athletic Bilbao.

The centre-back has yet to make his Premier League debut and could get the chance to do so when the Gunners face Fulham.

Arsenal have not won in the last two trips to Craven Cottage and will be aiming to end the streak to put pressure on Liverpool.

Liverpool face Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday. A victory for the Gunners would add extra burden on the Merseyside giants.
