Will not travel to Napoli
Mosquera (hamstring) did not travel with Arsenal's squad for Wednesday's Champions League opener at Napoli, according to football london.
Analysis: Mosquera will miss a second consecutive match after remaining in England for Wednesday's trip to Napoli, with his absence already expected after he missed the final training session. The muscular issue picked up at Aston Villa on Aug. 31 is not considered serious by coach Mikel Arteta, but the manager has avoided putting a timeline on his return. Ezri Konsa has stepped in alongside Gabriel and earned strong praise from Arteta after completing the full 90 minutes against Chelsea, leaving him well placed to retain the role even once Mosquera is back available.
Continues recovery from muscle issue
Mosquera (hamstring) is still questionable for upcoming action as his fitness is monitored day to day, with coach Mikel Arteta stating "He had a muscular issue, and we think it's not too much. But we need to wait and see the next few days for how it evolves".
Analysis: Mosquera's problem is considered a minor injury, but it remains unclear whether he'll be able to play in the midweek Champions League visit to Napoli, with the defender perhaps not ready for a full workload in that contest. Summer signing Ezri Konsa has stepped into a center-back spot in recent games, and that will likely remain the case at least until either Mosquera or William Saliba (back) returns to contention.
