Ezri Konsa Injuries

'Ezri has a tight calf and couldn’t finish training today. He will get further assessment in London... We think it’s nothing, we don’t even think it’s an injury, but it’s just a discomfort and not worth the risk.'

'For Konsa, hopefully it is not a big [muscle] injury...' 'Still out for tomorrow are Cash, Pau, Konsa, Onana and Barkley.' 'Konsa, his injury is not a big injury, and he is starting to work individually on the field. Hopefully, one week I think he will be available to play again.' 'Konsa as well is close to being with us.' 'We are going to train this evening because we played on Wednesday, yesterday we trained in the morning. He did compensation work with the players. Today, I will test him as well. In case he is feeling good, he will be in the squad. To play or not, I will decide.'

'[Konsa and Onana] have small injuries. They have to rest, recover and each day is very important. For tomorrow, they are not available; maybe they could come back the next match.'

'I don’t know exactly, but I think it’s the hamstring. We don’t know if it’s a big or small injury. Hopefully, it’ll be a small injury.' 'Konsa and Jadon [Philogene] as well are feeling good.'

'The players are coming back after they played with their national teams, they are in the squad. We don’t have big issues after it.'

'Ezri is injured. He has a knee sprain and is not going to be available. I don't know, three or four weeks more or less.' 'Konsa is progressing very well but is still out for this match.' 'I will include [Konsa and Torres] in the squad for tomorrow, but I don't know if they are going to be available 100 per cent to play from the beginning. I will decide tomorrow morning, speaking with them and how they feel.'

"Konsa has had a scan and it’s confirmed that he has a knee injury, he’ll be missing for up to 16 weeks. When someone leaves the pitch and you see the challenge, you’re fearing that it could be an ACL, a six to nine-month injury but thankfully it wasn’t."

"We’ve got a doubt with Ezri, which you’ll know from the previous game. He left the pitch with a severe whack on his hip, so we’ll make a late decision on that."

"Unfortunately, Ezri had to go off. I think he'll be all right. I haven't spoken to the doctor yet for an early diagnosis but he was walking OK."

"Ezri is back in training from tomorrow."

"He felt something in his thigh so we brought him off, but he had 3/4 days [away]; then he came back in and he’s been back training ever since."

"Ezri has had a bit of niggling thigh. It’s nothing too much to worry about. He should be training Tuesday or Wednesday this week."
