Arsenal vs Hull injury news: Konsa doubt as Saka remains out

← Back to Match CentreArsenal v Hull

Ezri Konsa’s availability is a key question for Arsenal against Hull after the defender came off during the Champions League win in Prague.

Arsenal vs Hull takes place at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday 7 November 2026, with kick-off at 3pm GMT.

Arsenal: Konsa check and Saliba decision

The Standard reports that Konsa’s issue is not thought to be serious, but his place is uncertain. William Saliba returned to the squad in Prague after a back injury and was an unused substitute; that does not establish that he is ready to start.

Bukayo Saka remains injured. Max Dowman is serving a domestic suspension, so his eligibility for European football does not make him available for this game.

Hull: Crooks banned and Butland building fitness

Matt Crooks is suspended. Hull’s reported injury list includes Eliot Matazo, Matt Targett, Charlie Hughes, Darko Gyabi, Ilyas Ansah and Lucas Gourna-Douath.

Jack Butland has played 90 minutes for the under-21s following his arm injury and could return to the squad. Thursday’s press-conference round-up also lists Hidemasa Morita as unavailable. The final squad remains subject to the clubs’ latest checks.
