Arsenal's Ezri Konsa: Dealing with dead leg

Rotowire• ·

Konsa (quadriceps) withdrew from England's squad with a dead leg and returned to Arsenal, and it is unclear whether he will be fit for Saturday's match against Leeds, according to The Standard.

Analysis:

Konsa started seven of England's eight games at the World Cup and has been steadily working his way back to full fitness since making the summer switch from Aston Villa to Arsenal. He had been dealing with a dead leg and appears to have aggravated the issue against Croatia despite going the full 90 minutes. If he isn't cleared to play, Riccardo Calafiori could step in alongside Gabriel at the heart of the defense if Cristhian Mosquera (hamstring) or Piero Hincapie (undisclosed) are also unable to start.
