Ezri Konsa knee problem forces off in Arsenal win
Arteta hooked him in the second half and he could miss Saturday's Premier League home game against Hull City.
Ezri Konsa had to leave the pitch in the second half of Arsenal's 2-1 win over Slavia Prague in the Champions League on Wednesday night. The centre-back came off with a knee problem and was replaced by Cristhian Mosquera. According to Metro, Arsenal had gone ahead through Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyökeres, before Wiktor Nowak pulled one back for Slavia in the 90th minute.
Konsa had started alongside Gabriel Magalhães and has played all 14 of Arsenal's games since his £55 million move from Aston Villa on August 21. Arteta said he "had some issues" and that they decided to take him off, pointing to the many games he has played in recent weeks.
His absence could be a problem on Saturday, when Arsenal host Hull City in the Premier League.
