What happened. Piero Hincapie is believed to have suffered a muscular injury and misses Arsenal's Carabao Cup trip to Ipswich Town despite training this week. He is one of five Arsenal defenders unavailable, alongside Ben White, Jurrien Timber, Cristhian Mosquera and William Saliba.

• Ben White suffered a groin issue at Sunderland and was replaced at half-time by Jurrien Timber.
• Timber is rested as a precaution after returning from a procedure on his own groin problem.
• Myles Lewis-Skelly shifts to left-back and Marli Salmon starts in defence.

Arsenal's makeshift backline faces Ipswich in the Carabao Cup third round with Arteta short on defensive options.
