Mikel Arteta addresses Cristhian Mosquera injury after Arsenal win at Villa Park

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta confirmed that defender Cristhian Mosquera exited Monday night's 1-0 victory over Aston Villa as a precautionary measure. Mosquera started alongside Gabriel at Villa Park but requested a substitution during the final stages of the match. Arteta stated after the game that there was no diagnosis, noting only that the player felt like he was about to develop an issue. Ezri Konsa replaced Mosquera to make his Arsenal debut against his former club. Arsenal maintained a clean sheet as Bukayo Saka scored the game's only goal, marking the team's second consecutive defensive shutout. The club currently manages a thin defensive rotation with William Saliba and Jurrien Timber unavailable for the trip.
