Mainstay in defense Konsa has only missed two starts when available this season and has started in all 37 of his appearances.

Impact Konsa continues to be a regular starter in the defense for Aston Villa when fit this season, having started in their past six games. This doesn't look likely to change unless he sees some bad luck, as he is versatile and can play on the outside or inside of the defense. He really only holds value in the defense, registering a few significant stats in the attack to go along with one goal in his time on the field.

Impact Konsa is fit for his return after missing the club's last match, as he has been cleared to play Wednesday.

Impact Konsa has not recovered from the issues he picked up while serving with England quickly enough to be ready for Saturday, as he will be left out due to his hip issues. This is a tough loss for the club, as he has been a regular starter between right-back and center-back. That said, this will force a change, with either Matty Cash or Lamare Bogarde starting at right-back while he is out.

Early signs have pointed to a hip injury, although that is unconfirmed with the team having yet to announce the results of his scans. He has been a consistent starter, so this could be a tough loss if he misses time, with Matty Cash and Lamare Bogarde as probable replacements.

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.
