Cristhian Mosquera is accelerating his recovery from a hamstring injury sustained in Arsenal’s 1-0 win at Aston Villa on 31 August. The defender has been sidelined since that match and is using the three-week international break to rebuild his condition.
According to reports, Mosquera has been training at Valencia’s Paterna complex on Thursday, working with a rehabilitation coach from the club. He regularly returns to his former side because his brother Yulian remains in Valencia’s youth academy, despite now living in north London.
Mikel Arteta indicated before the Brighton match that Mosquera could return alongside Ben White, Jurrien Timber and Piero Hincapie, though none of the first three made the squad for that fixture. There is optimism he will be available for Arsenal’s match-day squad when Leeds United visit the Emirates on 10 October, once the international break ends.
White picked up a groin issue in the 2-0 win over Sunderland and was withdrawn at half-time. Timber’s fitness is being managed carefully whilst on Netherlands duty, while William Saliba may not return until December if all progresses as planned.
