Story summary

Cristhian Mosquera, Arsenal's right-back, could return from a muscle injury sustained on August 31 during a match against Aston Villa. Manager Mikel Arteta expressed hope for Mosquera's availability before the Carabao Cup clash. Meanwhile, regular right-back Ben White missed training and his status is uncertain due to groin issues suffered in recent matches. Given that White has played all six games this season, including the Community Shield win over Manchester City, there was speculation he might be rested for cup competitions anyway. Arteta's optimism about Mosquera's potential return offers an alternative should White not recover in time.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
