Ezri Konsa was forced off with a knee injury during Arsenal’s 2-1 win against Slavia Prague in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
Goals from Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres in the first half gave Arsenal a commanding lead but Mikel Arteta’s side struggled in the second half and Slavia Prague deservedly pulled a goal back through Wiktor Nowak in the 90th minute.
Konsa, meanwhile, started alongside Gabriel Magalhaes in central defence for Arsenal’s fourth Champions League game this season, while William Saliba was named as a substitute for the first time this term.
The France international, who has been recovering from a long-term back injury, remained on the bench as Konsa was forced off in the second half with a knee problem and replaced by Cristhian Mosquera.
Konsa has featured in all 14 of Arsenal’s games since his £55 million move from Aston Villa on August 21.
