Konsa was diagnosed with a minor quad injury and ruled out of England's Nations League clash with Czechia on Tuesday, according to England manager Thomas Tuchel, per James Olley of ESPN. Tuchel revealed that Konsa arrived in camp with discomfort that worsened against Spain before receiving the green light to face Croatia, where he took another blow to the quad. England ultimately opted not to have him play through the pain again.
Analysis:Konsa logged the full 90 minutes against both Spain and Croatia before the quad issue forced England to shut him down, and he will now return to Arsenal for further assessment. Any time on the sidelines would be a significant blow to an already thin center-back group, with Riccardo Calafiori a candidate to partner Gabriel if Konsa is unable to shake off the issue in time for Saturday's clash with Leeds United.
