Arsenal fear they could be without Cristhian Mosquera for around six weeks.
Assessments ongoing and 21-year-old CB still hoping to be back sooner.

Cristhian Mosquera is set for another medical test on Friday after sustaining potentially βcomplicatedβ ankle injury, Mikel Arteta said.
"Let's see" on Rice, "matter of days" for Saliba & Trossard.

I remember when #Arsenal bought Gyokeres, a lot of people said things like, "Hopefully we never see Merino upfront again."
Never felt that way myself. Very few players as adept with the timing, as clinical in the finishing.
Starting to wonder if he missed his vocation.

When you have a winning team, everyone wants to be part of it.
On the evidence of Wednesdayβs 3-1 win over Bayern Munich, it is striking an enviable balance: one where each player sees every start as a privilege, every minute an opportunity.

Arsenal have built one of the most formidable squads in Europe.
It is striking an enviable balance, one where players see every start as a privilege, every minute an opportunity.
It is that rarest, most fragile football phenomenon: healthy competition.

Arsenal's controversial partnership with their sleeve sponsor Visit Rwanda will finish at the end of this season.
It comes a month after the club were in discussions about an extension to the deal.
So what happened?
