Konsa and O'Reilly doubts for England's Nations League clash with Czech Republic
England's squad for the Nations League game against the Czech Republic is missing two key players. Right‑back Ezri Konsa and midfielder Nico O'Reilly are both doubtful after recent injuries, leaving manager Gareth Southgate with a trimmed lineup for Tuesday night.
England will face the Czech Republic in a Nations League group match on Tuesday night at the Etihad Stadium.
Right‑back Ezri Konsa and midfielder Nico O’Reilly are both listed as doubts after recent injury concerns, leaving manager Gareth Southgate with a reduced pool of options.
Konsa, who has featured regularly for the Gunners, and O’Reilly, a key player for Arsenal, both missed training sessions in the build‑up to the fixture.
The absence of these players could force Southgate to rely on younger or less experienced options, particularly in the defensive and midfield areas.
England will need to secure a win to keep their hopes of progressing in the Nations League alive, and the final squad selection will be announced later in the day.
