Arsenal have received a welcome triple injury boost ahead of their return to Premier League action, with Ben White, Cristhian Mosquera and Piero Hincapie all back in training.Mikel Arteta’s squad are preparing to face Leeds United at the Emirates next Saturday after the extended international break, and the return of three defenders considerably strengthens his options.White has been unavailable since suffering a groin problem against Sunderland, while Mosquera has been working his way back from the muscle injury that kept him out of Arsenal’s most recent fixtures.Hincapie, meanwhile, remained in North London during the international break after being left out of Ecuador’s squad because of fitness concerns.White, Mosquera and Hincapie back at London ColneyAccording to Football.London, all three defenders have now returned to training as preparations begin for the visit of Leeds.Mosquera’s progress is particularly encouraging after the defender used former club Valencia’s facilities to step up his recovery during the break.The timing could hardly be better.Arsenal went into the international window following a disappointing 3-0 defeat away to Brighton, while Arteta has also been forced to manage a defence missing several important options during the opening weeks of the campaign.White’s return provides further competition at right-back, while Mosquera and Hincapie give the manager additional flexibility across the back line.(Photo by Justin Setterfield/Getty Images)Arteta’s defensive options beginning to improveThere is still work to do before Arsenal’s defensive injury problems are completely behind them.William Saliba remains sidelined and is continuing his recovery, but having three defenders back on the training pitch should at least reduce some of the pressure on Arteta’s available options.White had previously been targeting a return following his latest injury setback, and the international break appears to have provided valuable additional recovery time.The key question now is whether any of the trio will be ready to start against Leeds or whether Arteta will prefer to ease them back gradually.Either way, seeing White, Mosquera and Hincapie training again is exactly the kind of news Arsenal supporters wanted before domestic football resumes.Which of the returning trio do you think Arsenal need back in the starting XI most urgently against Leeds?
