Arsenal defender Ezri Konsa has become the latest player to withdraw from the England squad ahead of tomorrow's Nations League clash against the Czech Republic. Earlier today, it was confirmed that Alex Scott had also been released from the camp to return to Bournemouth, with Konsa now following suit.

The centre-back sat out training last week due to a muscular issue, which saw him remain an unused substitute in the first match against the Czech Republic. However, he returned to the starting lineup and played the full 90 minutes in the 7-0 rout of Croatia.

Konsa is set to be assessed by Arsenal's medical team, who will determine whether he can feature in Saturday's Premier League clash against Leeds.

Arsenal did receive some positive news on the defensive front during the international break, as Ben White, Piero Hincapié, and Cristhian Mosquera all resumed training. White and Mosquera sustained injuries prior to the hiatus but are expected to be fully fit when the Premier League returns.
