Konsa (quadriceps) remains a late call for Saturday's Premier League clash against Leeds United after withdrawing from England's squad with a dead leg, according to coach Mikel Arteta. "Ezri and Kai, let's see [on Saturday]."
Analysis:Konsa returned to Arsenal during the international break after aggravating a quadriceps issue while representing England against Croatia, despite completing the full 90 minutes. The defender has been working his way back to peak fitness following his summer move from Aston Villa, but manager Arteta's latest comments suggest his availability for Saturday's matchup remains uncertain. Konsa has been an important part of Arsenal's defensive rotation, and his potential absence could open the door for Cristhian Mosquera or Piero Hincapie, who have both been cleared to return from their respective injuries. Riccardo Calafiori could also provide cover alongside Gabriel in central defense if Konsa is unable to feature.
