Thomas Tuchel explains Ezri Konsa injury blow as Arsenal concerns grows

Konsa withdrew from England duty with a dead leg after playing through discomfort against Spain; Tuchel cleared him medically but opted not to risk further injury.

Arsenal defender Ezri Konsa has withdrawn from the England squad with a dead leg sustained during international fixtures. England manager Thomas Tuchel explained that Konsa felt discomfort upon arriving at camp, played the full 90 minutes against Spain, and was rested for the Czech Republic match. After receiving medical clearance and training fully, Konsa played in the Croatia win but suffered another impact to his quad that caused light trauma. Tuchel decided to withdraw him rather than risk aggravating the injury further, with Konsa now returning to Arsenal for treatment.
