Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta provided an update on the status of injured centre-back Ezri Konsa, saying he is feeling better after being withdrawn from the team's midweek match against Slavia Praha due to an injury issue. Konsa has been spotted in training and was called up for the upcoming international break. Arteta confirmed Konsa was feeling much better on Friday. The defender was taken out of the previous match as a precaution.

In contrast, winger Bukayo Saka is expected to be out for several weeks, according to Arteta. The manager downplayed expectations for Saka's quick return, stating that the team would assess his progress after the international break. Saka is currently the only Arsenal player ruled out for Saturday's match against Hull City due to injury.

Arsenal's injury list is relatively short, with Max Dowman also being absent against Hull City but due to serving a suspension. Arteta emphasized that the medical team is working to get Saka fit without rushing the process, as the player is eager to return to the team.
