Piero Hincapie
March 2026
Piero Hincapie has reportedly withdrawn from Ecuador duty after picking up a knock in the friendly against Morocco, giving Arsenal another fitness concern before club action resumes. The defender was absent from training as Ecuador prepared for their next match against the Netherlands. Reports say the decision was taken jointly by Ecuador’s staff and Arsenal’s medical team to avoid the problem worsening at a delicate stage of the season. I have not found a primary official federation statement confirming the exact diagnosis, so the injury detail should still be treated cautiously.
