Arsenal beat Brentford 2-0 in the Premier League tonight.
The Gunners will be delighted to achieve another impressive result as they continue their quest for the title.
They have had an outstanding performance in the Premier League this season and are now the clear favorites to win the Premier League. Despite managing to extend their lead at the top of the table to five points, Arsenal will be worried about a number of potential injuries against Brentford. Star midfielder Declan Rice was sidelined with an injury, while Cristian Mosquera also picked up a knee or ankle problem.
Both players have performed very well for Arsenal this season and we can’t afford to lose them for long. The true extent of the damage is still unknown, but Arsenal fans will be hoping that both players can return to action quickly.
“Declan has had to leave, we’ll have to see tomorrow. The other one is Mosquela. Saliba and Gabriel are out, so we have to adapt,” Arteta told a press conference via Mirror.
“He couldn’t continue playing, so he had to leave,” he added of Rice. “He can walk…”
The Spaniard had few details to add about Mosquera’s illness. “It was part of his knee or ankle, but he didn’t tell us,” he revealed.
Arsenal have played in multiple tournaments and need a squad with more quality players. In order for the manager to rotate the team and keep players fresh, key players will need to be fit and active. It remains to be seen whether both players will be able to return to action soon.
