Arsenal hit by Cristhian Mosquera injury blow

Cristhian Mosquera
December 2025

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. Arteta admitted scans showed a worse problem than first expected and ruled the defender out for “weeks”. He has responded by shifting Jurrien Timber and Piero Hincapie into central roles and even using Christian Norgaard at centre back as Arsenal try to cope while protecting a narrow lead in the title race.

Shearer backs Arsenal to end 22-year title wait

Arsenal beat Burnley to go seven points clear, earning a ninth straight win and seventh straight clean sheet. Alan Shearer told BBC Sport he “can’t see a weakness,” praising set-piece threat and advanced use of Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber to overload wide areas and sustain pressure. Arsenal’s structure limits transitions and concedes few shots. Declan Rice anchors possession and rest defense; Viktor Gyökeres adds direct runs and penalty-box presence. Rotation keeps intensity high. Title push hinges on maintaining defensive health and chance quality across winter congestion and Europe. Chelsea’s 2004/05 goals-against mark is a realistic target.
