Konsa was taken off against Slavia Prague, sparking concern for Arsenal fans (Getty)

Mikel Arteta has confirmed defender Ezri Konsa was substituted against Slavia Prague as a precaution and is expected to face Hull on Saturday.

Konsa has impressed in the Arsenal defence since joining from Aston Villa, helping secure four consecutive Premier League clean sheets.

William Saliba has returned to full training following a back injury and is in contention to make his first appearance of the season against Hull.

Arsenal are in communication with France manager Zinedine Zidane regarding whether Saliba will be selected for international duty this month.

Arteta stated that the club will accept whatever decision Zidane makes concerning Saliba, noting that the defender still needs playing minutes.
