Arsenal star steps up recovery as he nears return to action

Piero Hincapie has returned to individual training as he continues his recovery from injury.

The defender took part in individual drills during Arsenal’s open training session on Tuesday morning, marking another step towards a return to first-team action.

Hincapie has been sidelined with an ankle issue, with Mikel Arteta previously suggesting he was progressing well and could return within a couple of weeks.

William Saliba and Christos Tzolis were the only Arsenal players absent from the open session ahead of the game against Bayern Munich.
