Overview
- Cristhian Mosquera suffered an ankle injury against Brentford after landing awkwardly and was replaced by Jurrien Timber before half-time.
- Reports from the BBC’s Sami Mokbel indicate a projected six-to-eight-week absence, but the club has not confirmed a timeline.
- Mikel Arteta said Mosquera is the “more complicated” case and scheduled additional assessments to clarify the severity.
- The blow worsens Arsenal’s centre-back shortage, with Gabriel Magalhaes out with a thigh problem and William Saliba described as only days from returning.
- Multiple outlets say the layoff would likely sideline Mosquera for December matches, including trips to Aston Villa and Club Brugge, pending test results.
