Konsa leaves England camp injured as White, Hincapié, Mosquera return
Post
📰 Arsenal defender Konsa has come home early from England duty with a quad injury, while White, Hincapié and Mosquera are back in training.
📌 Key points
🩹 Konsa left the England camp with a quad injury before the Czechia game.
🗣️ Tuchel said Konsa played through discomfort and it got worse.
💪 White, Hincapié and Mosquera have rejoined team training at London Colney.
🛌 Saliba has not yet returned to first-team training.
🗓️ Arsenal host Leeds in the Premier League on 10 October.
📝 What happened
🩹 England announced that Konsa had returned to Arsenal for assessment with a quad injury and would miss the Nations League match against Czechia on 6 October. According to Arseblog, Konsa had played the full 90 minutes against both Spain (a 3-2 defeat) and Croatia (a 7-0 win).
🗣️ Tuchel explained that Konsa joined up with discomfort and that playing against Spain made it worse. He insisted on playing against Croatia but took another knock in the same area, causing some light trauma.
💪 There is good news too. Read Arsenal reports that Ben White, Piero Hincapié and Cristhian Mosquera, who all missed this international window through injury, have trained with the squad at London Colney. That gives a defence without Saliba some breathing space.
🛌 Saliba is still not part of first-team training. Arteta said Saliba is "in rest mode at the moment", and Arseblog says he is not expected back before November. ESPN reports that Havertz, who hurt his hamstring with Germany, is also being assessed by the club.
📊 By the numbers
• Konsa: full 90 minutes against Spain and Croatia before withdrawing
• Back in training: 3 (White, Hincapié, Mosquera)
• Arsenal's schedule: 9 matches in 27 days (Read Arsenal)
🔭 Why it matters
Beaten 3-0 by Brighton just before the break, Arsenal must rebuild their defence without Saliba. Even if Konsa misses out, three returning defenders give Arteta more options.
Arsenal host Leeds at the Emirates on 10 October before a packed run of fixtures that includes the Champions League.
