Arsenal 28yo to make England squad despite missing training

Ezri Konsa is expected to be included in England's squad for Tuesday night's match against the Czech Republic despite missing full training on Monday. The FA confirmed that Konsa and Manchester City's Nico O'Reilly participated in individual training sessions instead of team practice, though BBC reporter Alex Howell reports that Konsa remains in line to feature while O'Reilly has been ruled out.

There remains some uncertainty regarding how heavily Konsa will feature, with Jarrad Branthwaite viewed as a potential starting option if needed. The update offers relief for Arsenal, who are currently managing injuries across their defensive line, including long-term absentee William Saliba alongside fitness concerns for Ben White and Piero Hincapie.
