Cristhian Mosquera - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Positive preseason Mosquera had a positive showing in recent preseason matches, gaining more trust working into the defensive line.

Impact Mosquera has had a positive start to the 2026-27 season, starting all three preseason matches so far. The 22-year-old was a reliable defensive player for Arsenal this past season, tallying multiple clearances per match and proving to be a strong force in the back line. The defender has been playing as a direct substitute for WIlliam Saliba, however since he got hurt in the World Cup (back injury), Mosquera has been getting more opportunities to showcase his defensive talents. It can be expected that Mosquera will continue to be a strong addition to the back line, possibly getting more minutes and opportunities due to Salibas injury.

Solid substitute appearance Mosquera generated one tackle (zero won) and one clearance in Sunday's 1-0 victory over West Ham United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 79th minute.

Impact Mosquera came on at halftime in Sunday's 1-0 win at West Ham, operating at right-back due to Ben White's injury, and was tested in the second half as West Ham grew into the match and forced David Raya into a decisive save against Mateus Fernandes. Mosquera has made 18 Premier League appearances this season since joining from Valencia last summer, establishing himself as a reliable and technically assured option in Mikel Arteta's backline at just 21 years old.

Keeps UCL clean sheet Mosquera had two clearances and kept a clean sheet in Wednesday's 0-0 draw versus Sporting CP.

Impact Mosquera made his first start at right back this season Wednesday, filling in for the injured Jurrien Timber (undisclosed) in the crucial fixture. He did his job well as he kept a clean sheet and helped keep Sporting to just one shot on target throughout the 90 minutes, making two clearances in the process. If Timber is unable to go again Sunday at Manchester City, Mosquera could be asked to fill in again in another massive contest.

Impact Mosquera returned to the team sheet Tuesday and featured for Arsenal after some time out, actually starting after going unused off the bench in the last outing. This ends over a month-long absence as he will now start to build up minutes again, more of a rotational option for the club. He has only started in seven of his 15 appearances, and is likely to remain a backup behind Gabriel and William Saliba.

Available off bench Saturday Mosquera (ankle) was an unused substitute in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Nottingham Forest, confirming he is an option moving forward for Arsenal.

Impact Mosquera cleared the ankle injury that he suffered against Brentford in early December since he was available off bench against Nottingham Forest on Saturday. Mosquera has been mainly a bench option for the Gunners this season, starting in the backline when Gabriel or William Saliba were missing due to injuries but is expected to be only a rotational player in the second part of the season if everyone is fit.

Impact Mosquera was nearing a return to play but is still going to need some time, a few weeks away from being fit. That said, he is still yet to train, needing to take the field first before thinking of a return. A return nearing the start of February appears to be the most likely.

Impact Mosquera has been out for around a month with his ankle injury and is still going to remain out a few more games, as he works on his recovery. However, the defender is nearing the final stages of rehabilitation, likely to eye a potential return by the end of January. The return of the defender will mean their defensive department is finally at full fitness again, something that hasn't taken place in a a bit for the club, likely to serve a rotational role once healthy.

Impact Mosquera was likely to be missing weeks, and that has been confirmed by his manager, with the defender likely unavailable for at least the next month. This continues the issues in the defense for his club, already without William Saliba (undisclosed) and Gabriel (thigh). He will start eyeing a return in January, likely to be the last of the defenders to regain fitness and return to a rotational role once fit.

Could miss up to six weeks Mosquera (ankle) is feared to be missing for at least six weeks of action due to his injury, according to Sami Mokbel of the BBC.

Impact Mosquera looks to be seeing the worst of his ankle injury after going down in the club's last contest, as the defender could now miss at least six weeks of action. However, he is still set for further testing and assessment, possibly having this return adjusted a bit. The club is already without Gabriel (thigh) long-term and will not have to sweat and hope for the return of William Saliba (undisclosed) in their coming games, as the club is low on center-back options, possibly turning to Jurrien Timber or Ben White if all three miss out.

Impact Mosquera still needs to be assessed following the ankle injury he suffered in Wednesday's win against the Bees. The center-back is a big doubt for Saturday's clash against Aston Villa and this is bad news for the Gunners since William Saliba (undisclosed) is a late call as well for the game and Gabriel (thigh) out with an injury. If the three of them are out against the Villains, Jurrien Timber and Piero Hincapie could pair in the central defense for that game.

Impact Mosquera suffered an injury in Wednesday's victory against the Bees, likely to his knee or ankle, but will have to be assessed in the coming hours since he couldn't tell the medical staff what he had specifically. The center-back couldn't carry on and was replaced by Jurrien Timber. Arsenal will hope that his injury is minor since they are already missing Gabriel (thigh) and William Saliba (undisclosed) is still a doubt. If all three were to miss the game against Aston Villa on Saturday, Ben White could be the likely option to play in central defense.

Injured against Brentford Mosquera was forced off with an apparent injury during the first half of Wednesday's clash with Brentford.

Impact Mosquera was forced off during the first half Wednesday, making it to the 44th minute before being brought off in favor of Jurien Timber. It's not clear what the injury was for Mosquera, but he's been a key depth option so any sort of injury would be a big blow. With William Saliba also out Arsenal are down two of their top center-back options.
