The Spaniard is left with only four senior defenders for the semi-final clash against Chelsea, including 16-year-old Marli Salmon.

LONDON: Defenders Piero Hincapie and Riccardo Calafiori will miss Arsenal’s trip to Chelsea for Wednesday’s League Cup semi-final first leg, while William Saliba and Leandro Trossard are doubtful, manager Mikel Arteta said.

Arteta said he did not know how long Hincapie would be out after picking up an injury during last week’s goalless draw with Liverpool in the Premier League. Calafiori has been out since last month with a muscle injury and may take a few weeks to return, the Spaniard said.

“Willy and Leo… are doubts because they are not fit enough. Nothing serious,” Arteta told reporters on Tuesday.
