Impact Konsa is nearing a return and is feeling good in training. He came off in the final match before the international break and stayed with Villa to work on his recovery.

Starting as expected Konsa (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash with Everton.

Impact Konsa suffered a knock with England, but as expected, it wasn't serious and he's straight back in the starting XI. Konsa has been excellent and has grown into a role as the top choice in the back line. He will be in for a busy few months as Villa prepare to enter European competition.

Impact Konsa was forced off with a minor knock against Finland, but it wasn't expected to be a serious problem. The defender is now set to make his return straight away and be active with his club. Konsa has been a constant in the starting XI in recent weeks and should continue in a major role.

Forced off with England Konsa was forced off in the 61st minute of Tuesday's UEFA match with England. After full time, manager Lee Carsley noted, "Yes, I think he is [OK]. I've not had a chance to see him...

Impact It doesn't sound too serious for Konsa, but it's still worth monitoring with a league match less than a week away followed by Champions League. Unai Emery will need his best defender available for a heavy onslaught of matches, though the hope after the break is that both Diego Carlos and Tyrone Mings are close to being ready to featuring following their absences.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Plays multiple roles in the defense Konsa started and appeared in 35 games, registering one goal on 19 shots to go along with 28 interceptions, 54 tackles and 68 clearances.

Impact Konsa was boosted into the primary center-back role immediately to begin the season after losing Tyrone Mings in the season opener to a torn ACL. He would stay in the role for the remainder of the campaign, being a mainstay in the defense and switching between right-back and center-back, depending on where he was needed. He has seen interest from multiple teams across Europe, with Manchester United being the current leading candidate, although it appears the defender is more likely to return for a sixth straight season as a starter for Vila.

Scores in win Konsa scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one cross (one accurate) in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Wolverhampton.

Impact Konsa has been nearing a return in recent weeks and after a full week of training it seems he's finally ready. The defender would be a key piece of the starting XI when fit, making starts and going the full 90 in nearly every single match he's been available for. Still he will need to undergo a late fitness test to try and get back in the starting XI straight away.

Pictured at training Konsa (knee) was pictured returning to first-team training ahead of Saturday's matchup with Luton Town.

Impact Konsa has missed the club's last three contests due to his knee problem but could be nearing a return to action. Considering the defender started all 23 of his appearances for the club prior to getting hurt, he should be a near-lock for the starting XI once given the all-clear. In his last five outings, Konsa registered two shots (one on target), four crosses (zero accurate) and four clearances.

Impact Konsa could be back as soon as a March 2 trip to Luton Town, though that will depend on if he can get back in full training after Saturday's clash. Konsa has been one of the first names on the team sheet whenever fit and should be a starting option upon his return.

Dealing with knee injury Konsa could be sidelined for at least a month due to his knee injury sustained against Sheffield United on Saturday, per Matt Law of The Telegraph.

Impact Konsa has been a mainstay in the starting XI for the club this season, featuring in all 23 Premier League contests for Villa. Considering the defender hasn't scored a goal since the 2021/22 campaign, his absence is unlikely to impact the offensive production but will no doubt hurt the backline where he is averaging 1.95 clearances per match. Matty Cash should be available to slot into the starting XI with Konsa out.

Comes off injured Konsa was taken off in the 59th minute of Saturday's 5-0 win against Aston Villa, having gone down after colliding with the post.

Impact Konsa's day was cut short after he appeared to pick up an injury running into the post of the goal. However, this may have been more of a cautionary move, as with the scoreline being 5-0, there was no reason to further risk one of their starter's health. The defender will now hope to return to his starting spot next weekend after a good week of recovery if he is even injured at all. Matty Cash was brought on to replace Konsa, and he would be the most reasonable replacement moving forward if the defender does miss any more time.

Signs new contract Konsa signed a long-term contract extension with Aston Villa, the club announced.

Impact Konsa extended his stay with Aston Villa, an unsurprising move with his major role in the first team. Konsa played in every match in 2022/23 and started all but one, and has played every single minute to open the 2023/24 Premier League. Konsa will remain the first name on the team sheet moving forward.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Registers 10 clearances Konsa has recorded 10 clearances, 10 tackles (seven won) and three interceptions through four matches.

Impact Konsa has started all four contests for the club and figures to remain a fixture in the starting XI after starting all but one of his 38 outings last season. The defender failed to score a goal during the 2022-23 campaign, registering just eight shots (zero on target), so fantasy players shouldn't be expecting much in the way of offensive production moving forward.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Has another solid campaign Konsa made 42 tackles, 114 clearances, 26 interceptions and 23 blocks, helped his side to keep 11 clean sheets and picked up six yellow card over 38 appearances (37 starts).

Impact Konsa kept making a great partnership with Tyrone Mings at the heart of the defense, starting in all but one matches and putting up solid numbers game after game. Diego Carlos, who had a torn Achilles during the second game of the campaign, should be fully fit for next year and bring some competition for the two central spots on the back line but Konsa will certainly have the edge at the start of the preseason.

JUNE 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Wins two tackles in loss Konsa made two blocks, a clearance and won two of two tackles in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Manchester United.

Impact Konsa has played 97 percent of Villa's Premier League minutes this season, keeping 11 clean sheets in 33 starts mostly alongside Tyrone Mings in central defense.

MAY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Three clearances in clean sheet Konsa created one chance, made three clearances and kept a clean sheet in Saturday's 1-0 win versus Crystal Palace.

Impact Konsa had a solid performance Saturday, as he played a big part in his team keeping a second consecutive clean sheet. He intercepted one pass, made three clearances and blocked one shot in his 90 minutes of action. On the attack, he created one chance (his first since Oct. 20 versus Fulham), and took one off-target shot. He has a decent to make it three clean sheets in a row next Sunday at West Ham, who have scored just 23 goals in 25 league matches this season.
