Arteta Gives Injury Update on Arsenal 22yo
Mikel Arteta said the defender has a muscular issue and will be monitored, while Ezri Konsa may keep his place alongside Gabriel.
- Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta confirmed defender Cristhian Mosquera sustained a muscular issue, leaving his availability for the Champions League match against Napoli on September 9 uncertain.
- Mosquera was forced off during the second half of Arsenal's victory at Villa Park last Monday, though Arteta initially labeled the substitution precautionary before confirming the muscular issue.
- Elsewhere, midfielder Bruno Guimaraes remains sidelined following his £75 million summer transfer from Newcastle, while defender Timber continues training after minor surgery and William Saliba is unavailable for an extended period.
- With Mosquera doubtful for the trip to Napoli, Ezri Konsa is expected to retain his place alongside Gabriel in central defense after impressing in his first start for the Gunners.
- Arteta remains hopeful, stating, "We think it is not too much but we need to wait and see in the next few days how it evolves." Recovery timeline depends on medical assessment.
