Another Injury Concern For Arsenal As Star Defender Leaves National Team Camp

Ezri Konsa has returned to Arsenal after being ruled out of England’s final international fixture against the Czech Republic on Tuesday.

The defender has been managing a slight muscle problem during the international break and missed training last week before returning to the England side for Saturday’s 7-0 victory over Croatia.

Konsa completed the full 90 minutes in that game but will now leave the England camp and return to Arsenal, where he will undergo further assessment, according to Yahoo Sports.

The timing will be of some concern for Mikel Arteta, with Arsenal preparing to return to Premier League action against Leeds at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

However, Arsenal have received encouraging news elsewhere in defence during the international break. Ben White, Piero Hincapie and Cristhian Mosquera have all been seen back in training, providing a potential boost to Arteta’s defensive options.

White and Mosquera had both picked up injuries before the international break, but their return to training suggests they could be available when Arsenal resume their league campaign.

Konsa’s assessment at Arsenal will determine whether he is fit to feature against Leeds or requires further recovery time.
