Hincapie had featured in Friday’s friendly against Morocco in Madrid.

However, he will not be involved against the Netherlands on Tuesday after returning to north London.

It comes after he started against Morocco before being substituted after 72 minutes.

Following medical tests, Hincapie is set to be assessed by the Arsenal medical staff this week.

It was then announced that Zubimendi has withdrawn from the Spain squad ‘due to discomfort in his right knee’.
