Overview
- Mosquera sustained an ankle injury against Brentford, and Arteta says he will be sidelined for weeks with scan-led timelines still to come.
- BBC reporting indicates a likely six-to-eight-week absence for the 21-year-old, though the club has not yet confirmed a precise return date.
- With William Saliba close to returning and Gabriel Magalhaes reportedly out until January, Jurrien Timber and Piero Hincapié have been deputising in central defence.
- Arteta praised Timber and Hincapié as exceptional after a 2-1 loss at Aston Villa decided by Emiliano Buendia’s 95th-minute winner, which halted an 18-match unbeaten run.
- Arsenal remain top of the Premier League but saw their lead cut to two points, with Club Brugge up next in the Champions League before hosting Wolves.
