Arteta gives update on Konsa's weekend condition

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta spoke about the condition of Ezri Konsa over the weekend. Konsa was taken off in this week's Champions League away match at Slavia Prague, which Arsenal won 2-1. The Gunners went through some tough moments in the second half while holding a two-goal lead.

Asked about Konsa's situation, Arteta replied that the England international is doing well. The head coach said, "He felt much better today. We took him off as a precaution, but yesterday and today he has been feeling good."

With William Saliba available again, Arteta also clarified Konsa's situation ahead of Saturday's match.

Konsa joined Arsenal in the summer. The move came up after Saliba suffered a back injury in the World Cup semi-final match in which he played against his own country, France. During that period, Cristhian Mosquera played in the first three matches. These included the Community Shield match in Cardiff, where they beat Manchester City, the FA Cup winners. Konsa made his Arsenal debut as a substitute in the second Premier League match, against his former club Aston Villa.
