Impresses in first start
Konsa registered three tackles (two won), six clearances and one interception in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Chelsea.
Analysis: Konsa stepped directly into the back line for his first competitive Arsenal start and produced six clearances alongside two successful tackles. With William Saliba sidelined and Christian Mosquera unavailable Sunday, the summer arrival partnered Gabriel and provided a composed presence in central defense. His experience and ability to defend both aerially and in space could make him an important option while Arsenal manage their current absences.
Ready to make first start
Konsa is training well and is ready to start Monday's Premier League clash against former club Aston Villa, according to coach Mikel Arteta. "Yes he's available. He's trained really well and he will be available for selection."
Analysis: Konsa has trained well since joining Arsenal and is now ready to start, putting him in contention for his first appearance in the XI against his former club Monday. With William Saliba sidelined, the summer signing could partner Gabriel in central defense. A start against Villa would give Konsa an early opportunity to establish himself as a regular in Arsenal's back line.
