The North London club are already without first-choice center-backs William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes, as well as forward Kai Havertz and Leandro Trossard.
Mosquera limped off just minutes before half-time with what Arteta said was either a knee or ankle issue, while England international Rice was substituted in the 83rd minute because of a calf problem.
“Obviously it’s never good news. Declan had to come off. We have to see tomorrow what he’s got,” Arteta told reporters.
