Summary
Arsenal’s defensive anchor William Saliba could miss up to five months after a back injury sustained in France’s World Cup run, forcing Arteta to scramble for solutions. With Saliba playing through pain since March, the club may turn to in-form backup Cristhian Mosquera, who’s ready to disrupt Gabriel’s game, or explore options like Hincapié, Calafiori, or even midfielders Rice and Nørgaard. If internal options fall short, a short-term signing like Ezri Konsa or a long-term gamble on young talent Jon Martín could be on the table — all while Arteta must find a way to keep Arsenal’s backline intact without their rock.
