The Standard reported that Arsenal’s defensive injury list remains unsettled after the 2-0 win over Sunderland, with Ben White, William Saliba and Cristhian Mosquera all mentioned in the latest update. The paper said White was withdrawn at half-time on Wearside after appearing to have groin discomfort, while Jurrien Timber returned to action.

Mosquera has missed four matches with a muscle injury and, according to Mikel Arteta’s comments quoted by The Standard, could be in contention for Tuesday’s Carabao Cup meeting with Ipswich. Saliba, meanwhile, is still described as being out for an extended period after aggravating a back problem earlier this summer.

For Arsenal, the immediate issue is availability rather than diagnosis: White’s status is unclear, Saliba remains sidelined and Mosquera is the only one with a possible return window this week.

What remains unconfirmed

  • White’s availability for the Ipswich match is not confirmed.
  • Saliba has no return date confirmed in the report.
