Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta revealed that Cristhian Mosquera is set to be sidelined for “much more” time than the club had initially expected, adding to a spiralling injury crisis which got even worse on the morning of Wednesday’s Champions League victory over Club Brugge.
Mosquera has been sidelined with an ankle issue for the past week, joining the first-choice centre back pairing of William Saliba and Gabriel in the treatment room. The initial expectation was that the Spanish defender would not be out for the long-term, but Arteta had to row back on those remarks.
