After Arteta issued a rather worrying update on Eberechi Eze following Arsenal’s first Premier League win over Liverpool at Anfield since 2014, supporters were able to breath a massive sigh of relief when the attacking midfielder trained ahead of the Slavia Prague clash.
asserted
midfielder → issue → clash
However, it was the substitution of Ezri Konsa in the second half that has provided cause for concern - even if William Saliba was named in the matchday squad for the first time after recovering from a back injury.
asserted
Saliba → provide → injury
As such, it remains to be seen if Konsa will be available for selection when Arsenal take on Hull at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday for their final match before the November international break.
asserted
Arsenal → remain → break
Ezri Konsa
Konsa started against Slavia Prague alongside Gabriel, but was forced off in the second half with “some issues”.
asserted
Konsa → start → issues
In the first half, Konsa was seen feeling his knee and Arteta confirmed that his withdrawal was fitness related rather than a tactical decision.
asserted
withdrawal → see → knee
A further update on Konsa is expected in the pre-match press conference later in the week, though Arsenal’s strength in depth in central defence means they will not have to take any risks with the summer signing.
asserted
they → expect → signing
Potential return date: Saturday November 7, vs Hull (H)
Bukayo Saka
He is not expected to feature against Hull before the international break, but fans are still in the dark as to how long he will be sidelined for.
asserted
he → expect → long

Potential return date: Unknown
William Saliba
William Saliba has yet to play for Arsenal this season due to a long-term back injury that he exacerbated while on duty for France at the World Cup finals this summer.
asserted
he → have → finals
He was able to avoid surgery and has recently played 45 minutes of a behind-closed-doors friendly.
asserted
He → avoid → friendly
While Saliba was an unused substitute in Prague, Arteta has revealed the defender is ready to feature when called upon - which may be as soon as this weekend.
uncertain
which → reveal → weekend
"He's in a really good place," Arteta said on Tuesday.
asserted
Arteta → say → Tuesday
"The process and the timings and the manner that the injury has been dealt with, especially the feelings that Willy has been having along the way, they have been very, very positive.
asserted
they → deal → way
"His evolution has been as expected, which is not always the case.
asserted
which → expect → ?
He feels really comfortable.
asserted
He → feel → ?
"He played 45 minutes behind closed doors last week.
asserted
He → play → doors
He feels ready to go.
asserted
He → feel → ?
Whether we use him or not now is a matter of what the team needs."
