Arsenal have been dealt a double injury setback ahead of their UEFA Champions League encounter with Lille on Tuesday.

Manager Mikel Arteta will be without Piero Hincapie and Martin Zubimendi for the match scheduled to take place at the Emirates Stadium.

Both players reportedly picked up injuries during the warm-down session after Arsenal secured a 2-1 victory over Leeds United on Saturday.

Hincapie featured as a second-half substitute in the Premier League encounter, while Zubimendi did not make an appearance.

The pair are unlikely to be available for the Lille fixture as Arsenal aim to record their second successive victory in the Champions League.

However, Arteta has received some encouraging news, with William Saliba returning to grass training as he continues his recovery from a back injury.
