Closing in on return
Mosquera has returned to the training pitch and is closing in on a return from his hamstring injury, as the defender traveled as the spare man with the squad for the match against Brighton before the international break and was always expected to push his way back into contention against Leeds, according to The Standard.
Analysis: Mosquera appears to be nearing the finish line in his recovery after spending roughly a month sidelined with a hamstring injury. His ability to cover both right back and center back gives Arsenal another versatile option across the back line, though he may initially have to settle for a depth role given the competition ahead of him, including Gabriel. His exact role and workload should become clearer once he's fully cleared for match action.
Back in training with Arsenal
Mosquera (hamstring) was involved in his club's training after returning from Valencia ahead of the final week of the international break, per Nathan Ridley of the Mirror.
Analysis: Mosquera is moving forward in his recovery and could be close to making an appearance following a one-month absence. His progress over the coming sessions should offer a clearer indication of whether he can rejoin the matchday squad soon. Once fit, he could serve as a right-back or center-back asset, but his exact role and potential minutes remain unclear with the team now boasting quality defenders such as Gabriel and Ezri Konsa.
