Arsenal defeated Brentford 2-0 in a Premier League match, but the victory was marred by injuries. Goals from Mikel Merino and Bukayo Saka secured the points, though Christian Mosquera exited early with a suspected ankle or knee issue.
Declan Rice also left the pitch in the 83rd minute, reportedly due to a calf problem. Manager Mikel Arteta is expected to provide an update on their fitness before Saturday’s crucial game against Aston Villa.
