Injury Ankle
Est. Return 1/17/2026
Confirmed to miss weeks
Mosquera (ankle) is out for weeks due to his injury, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "He's going to be out for weeks, unfortunately, it's much more than what we expected. But the player was feeling it, so he's going to be out for weeks."
ANALYSIS
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Arsenal not expected to sign him
Arsenal aren't expected to complete a move for Mosquera this summer, according to The Mirror.
ANALYSIS
There's no question that the Gunners are keen on making a move for the Spanish defender. However, talks between both clubs have stalled as Valencia are asking for more than £20 million for the Spanish international. The Gunners aren't expected to pay that much for a player who remains a bit unproven at the elite level in LaLiga.
