Arsenal Injury List Clears Ahead of Hull City Clash

Arsenal enter Saturday’s Premier League fixture against Hull City with a substantially reduced injury list, marking their final match before the November international break. Mikel Arteta’s side is striving for a fifth consecutive top-flight victory following a 3–0 defeat at Brighton, according to Football London. The reigning Premier League champions face the Tigers at the Emirates Stadium with key updates regarding Ezri Konsa, Bukayo Saka, and William Saliba.

Ezri Konsa Fit for Hull City Following Slavia Prague Scare

Ezri Konsa is available for Saturday’s match after overcoming a knee issue sustained during Arsenal’s 2–1 UEFA Champions League victory against Slavia Prague. The central defender was seen holding his knee and limping in the first half. He played on until the 62nd minute before being substituted for Cristhian Mosquera.

Arteta confirmed that Konsa was withdrawn after experiencing some issues during the match, noting that he has played so many games in the last few weeks. Konsa has logged over 1,000 minutes across all competitions in his debut campaign, appearing in all but two of Arsenal’s matches this season. Arteta stated on Friday that the England international is fit to face Hull.

Bukayo Saka Sidelined Until December With Quad Injury

Bukayo Saka remains out of action for weeks due to a quad injury sustained during a 2–2 draw against Bayern Munich. The winger has missed Arsenal’s last four matches and was omitted from Thomas Tuchel’s latest England squad.

Arteta explained that the club is monitoring fluid levels and tendon recovery. Saka is expected to begin light pitch activities after the international break, with a potential return targeted for December 9 against Real Madrid, Football London reported.

William Saliba Returns to Squad After Prolonged Absence

William Saliba featured on the substitutes’ bench against Slavia Prague for his first matchday squad appearance of the season. The French centre-back suffered a back injury during the World Cup semi-final against Spain.

Arteta noted that Saliba is fit to play against Hull City, adding that the defender needs minutes as he builds back to full fitness.
