Arsenal have confirmed centre back Mosquera will miss several weeks after landing awkwardly during the win over Brentford. The summer signing now joins fellow defenders William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes on the sidelines, stripping depth from an already stretched back line.

With Saliba and Gabriel already sidelined, Arteta paired new signings Mosquera and Piero Hincapie, only to see Mosquera forced off with a knock, while the manager later described Saliba’s niggle as a matter of days and Gabriel’s ankle issue as weeks, leaving the title favourites exposed in central defence during a crowded schedule.
