Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided updates regarding player fitness and injuries throughout September and October 2026.

In mid-September, Arteta dismissed concerns over Ben White’s fitness, stating the defender was “fine” despite being seen limping after a match against Napoli. At that time, Cristhian Mosquera was recovering from a muscular issue, and Jurrien Timber was being monitored in training.

By early October, the squad saw several players return to training, including Ben White, Cristhian Mosquera, and Piero Hincapie, following hamstring and muscular concerns. However, other absences persisted: Christos Tzolis was expected to be sidelined for approximately three weeks, Kai Havertz remained out with a hamstring issue, and William Saliba continued a long-term recovery with a projected return in November.
