Konsa left Wednesday's 2-1 win over Slavia Prague in UCL action after experiencing a discomfort, and he was mentioned by coach Mikel Arteta, who said "He's played a lot, so many games in the last few weeks, and he had some issues and we decided to take him off."
Analysis:Konsa's fitness is a major concern for the team heading into the Premier League match against Hull City prior to the international break. While a severe injury has not been confirmed, it appears the defender has been affected by fatigue and could be rested in upcoming weeks for him to avoid a significant muscle problem. Such blow would reduce the defensive ability of a side that has rarely conceded when both him and Gabriel are on the pitch. If a backup is needed, Cristhian Mosquera could be involved in the central pairing, though William Saliba is also nearing a return after recovering from a back injury.
