Thomas Tuchel provides Arsenal injury update after England scare
England defender Ezri Konsa has returned to training following a minor injury, providing a boost for Thomas Tuchel's squad ahead of their match against Croatia. Meanwhile, Manchester City's Nico O'Reilly has left the camp due to injury.
Why it matters
Injury updates are critical for team management and have direct implications for club-level performance, specifically for Arsenal and Manchester City.
England have one problem eased before the trip to Croatia. Ezri Konsa is back in training, back in contention and, by the sound of it, back in Thomas Tuchel's thinking for Saturday.
Konsa had missed England's 2-0 win over the Czech Republic after suffering a minor issue in the aftermath of the 3-2 defeat to Spain, a match he started. It was enough to keep him out as an unused substitute, but not enough to rule him out for long. He trained fully on Friday at HNK Rijeka and that changes the picture.
Tuchel kept it simple. "It seems that Ezri Konsa is back," Tuchel said. "He did the full training today and this is of course a lot of hope for tomorrow, because he is a key player for us.
