Piero Hincapie is hoping to be part of Arsenal’s squad for the visit of Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

The left-back has been out of action with a groin injury and his only appearance came at Athletic Club last month.

The defender trained again on Monday afternoon, though, and will hope to be in the squad on Tuesday against Atletico.

Arsenal have a tight turnaround from Fulham, but Arteta will want to name a strong team.

Ben White and Myles Lewis-Skelly could come into the team at full-back, while Mikel Merino is an option in midfield.

The most likely change is Gabriel Martinelli coming in on the left flank, although Leandro Trossard did score the winner at the weekend at Craven Cottage.

Arsenal are looking to maintain their perfect start to the Champions League this season after beating Athletic Club and Olympiacos.

Viktor Gyokeres is set to lead the line again and he will be looking to end his goal drought. The striker has not scored in his last nine games for club and country.

Arsenal predicted XI (4-3-3): Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Eze, Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Gyokeres, Martinelli

Injured: Jesus (knee), Havertz (knee), Madueke (knee), Odegaard (knee)

Time and date: 2pm BST on Sunday, October 26th, 2025
