Arteta confirms Mosquera, Hincapie, White fit for Arsenal's Brighton clash

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta confirmed on September 18 that defenders Vristhian Mosquera, Piero Hincapie and Ben White are all available for selection in the Premier League trip to Brighton later this week. The trio missed the Carabao Cup victory at Ipswich Town due to injury or fitness concerns, but Arteta said everyone is fine after a morning training session and expressed optimism ahead of the final session this afternoon.

The availability of the three defenders is a significant boost for Arsenal as they aim to extend their perfect start to the season to ten consecutive wins across all competitions before the international break. A win at Brighton would keep the Gunners atop the Premier League table and maintain momentum heading into the break. For Nigerian Arsenal supporters, this means stronger chances of securing vital points and enjoying continued success in the league.

Arteta said the team will hold another training session this afternoon to finalize fitness, with the players eager to be involved. For fans following Arsenal’s lineup choices, the trio’s availability adds depth to the defense ahead of the Brighton encounter.
