Arsenal faces a defensive crisis with Cristhian Mosquera potentially out for six to eight weeks due to an ankle injury sustained against Brentford. This adds to existing concerns, as first-choice center-backs Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba are also sidelined.
Manager Mikel Arteta confirmed Mosquera’s injury requires more tests. While Saliba is “days” from returning, Gabriel’s thigh injury could keep him out until January, making Saliba’s comeback crucial for Arsenal’s upcoming league and Champions League fixtures.
