Arsenal defender Cristhian Mosquera is facing a significant setback after suffering an ankle injury in the 2-0 win over Brentford. The severity of the injury has raised concerns that he could miss at least six weeks, which would be another blow to the already reeling Gunners defense.
Mosquera was forced off the pitch after landing awkwardly during the match and is now set to undergo further tests to establish the full extent of his injury. His absence will be a significant loss for Arsenal, who are currently navigating a period of high intensity with multiple key players sidelined.
The 21-year-old's injury joins that of Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba, who both sustained injuries during training sessions and were ruled out of recent games. Mosquera has been filling in for the pair but his absence will be crucial as Arsenal prepare to face a busy schedule, including a trip to third-placed Aston Villa on Saturday.
Mikel Arteta's side are currently at the top of both the Premier League and Champions League group phase, but their defensive woes have raised questions about their long-term prospects. With Mosquera facing an extended spell on the sidelines, Saliba's availability will be critical in securing crucial victories down the line.

Cristhian Mosquera was really stepping up and doing well, now he's out for like 6 weeks? That's a big blow, especially with all the other injuries they're dealing with. I feel for Mikel Arteta and the team, they're trying to do so well in both leagues but their defense is like, super weak right now 
. Saliba has to be super fit soon or it'll be tough for them to compete. They really need some good luck with this injury 
fingers crossed for a speedy recovery!
i mean, mikel arteta needs to sort out that defense ASAP or else we'll see them crash out of both competitions in a matter of weeks 
mosquera's absence is just the icing on the cake, gabriel magalhaes and saliba are already out for who knows how long... what's next? another player getting injured?! 
this is not what arsenal needed right now, a 6 week layoff for mosquera would be a huge blow to their defense... they're already struggling with magalhaes and saliba out, so this could get really bad if he's out that long 
mikel arteta has his work cut out for him to keep arsenal in top form...
Six weeks is a long time for them to be without one of their best defenders. And to think they're already on top in the Premier League and Champions League group phase... it's like they're asking to fall apart at the seams! 
. And let's be real, a six-week layoff for Mosquera is basically just a minor speed bump 
. The Gunners are in great shape right now and I'm sure they'll just find a way to win games with a bunch of makeshift defenders 
. Bring on the busy schedule! 
Can't keep relying on one player to bail you out every game! 
i get that teams go through ups and downs, but 6 weeks is a looong time to be out 
cristhian mosquera getting hurt again 
did you see the stats on arsenal's goal conceded per game this season? it's like they're conceding goals for fun! 
their defensive record is only 45% clean sheets in 15 games 
arteta needs to figure out what's going on with his squad, 'cause right now it feels like they're just winging it 
magalhaes and saliba are already out, so mosquera being out is gonna be a nightmare for them. they need to get their defense sorted ASAP or else they'll be in big trouble

it's like they're playing with one hand tied behind their back. I feel bad for the kid, he was doing a great job filling in for Magalhaes and Saliba. The team needs him back ASAP 
, I mean Arteta knows what he's doing but this is like a nightmare scenario for him, what if they can't cope without those 3 defenders? 
. And with Aston Villa coming up, it’s going to be tough for them to keep a clean sheet without all their top defenders on the pitch 
️
i feel bad for the young guy, ankle injuries are no fun at all 
anyway i'm a bit concerned about this too... saliba gotta step up his game, can't let the team down
