Cristhian Mosquera
December 2025
Cristhian Mosquera is expected to miss six to eight weeks after suffering a complicated ankle injury in Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Brentford, leaving Mikel Arteta without all three of his centre-backs at a time when the club lead both league and Champions League groups. With William Saliba nursing a knock and Gabriel Magalhaes likely out until January, Mosquera’s setback forces further reshuffles alongside Piero Hincapie, increases reliance on full-backs and academy cover, and risks disrupting Arsenal’s defensive cohesion heading into a congested winter schedule.
