Arsenal defender Ezri Konsa rested due to minor injury concern

Ezri Konsa was rested by England during a match on September 30, 2026, after Thomas Tuchel indicated the Arsenal defender missed training earlier that week due to a minor injury. Konsa traveled with the squad to Czechia but did not participate in England's 2-0 victory, as he was not included in the starting lineup or substituted in. Tuchel was cautious about Konsa's condition, and the player will follow an individual training program. Other Arsenal internationals, including Bukayo Saka, participated in the match and are set to play again during the current international break.
