Arsenal monitoring Lacroix and Konsa as cover for post-World Cup Saliba surgery
Arsenal are closely tracking center-backs Maxence Lacroix and Ezri Konsa to safeguard against a potential defensive crisis if William Saliba undergoes back surgery after the FIFA World Cup.
Arsenal are actively monitoring the availability of central defenders Maxence Lacroix and Ezri Konsa as contingency options ahead of the upcoming campaign.
The recruitment drive is fueled by mounting fears that star center-back William Saliba may require back surgery.
The French international has been gritting his teeth through persistent discomfort, but medical experts suggest definitive operation might soon be unavoidable.
Should Saliba undergo the medical procedure immediately following his international commitments, he is expected to miss the initial phase of the new season.
To protect their defensive stability, the Gunners are identifying robust Premier League-proven cover. Tracking Crystal Palace’s Lacroix and Aston Villa’s Konsa ensures the London club remains well-prepared to maintain their title aspirations.
