Phil Foden shares what players in the England squad privately say about Aston Villa’s Ezri Konsa
Ezri Konsa has had to pull out of Lee Carsley’s latest England squad.
The Aston Villa defender suffered an injury at the weekend against Manchester United, and he’s had to withdraw from his internaꦍtional duties.
However, Konsa is still a core member of the Three Lions setup, and speaking to ITV Sport, Phil Foden has been discussing the Villa star.
Foden was playing a game of ‘Guess Who?’ alongside Angel Gomes in which he had to describe vari🐲ous ▨England teammates to the midfielder.
Foden was tasked with describing Konsa, and he gave the defend🌠er a glowing review.
The Manchester City star claimed that Konsa is a great one vs one defender, while he noted that some members of the England squad privately say the 26-year-old is one of the toughest de🌃fen🍒ders they have faced.

What England’s players say about Ezri Konsa
Foden shared some insight into Konsa 🧜and how he’s viewed within the England 🔜camp.
The City star claimed t𝓰hat some of his Englan🎃d teammates rate Konsa very highly.
That is glowing praise to say the least as this England team is jam-packed full of elite players operating at a world-clas🧜s level.
“A great one vs one defender, some of the lads say that he’s one of the toughest they’ve ever come up against,” Fo♊d💯en said.
“Is it Ez?” Gomes said.
“Yeah,” Foden said.
When will Konsa return from injury?
Foden’s comments serve to highlight just how brilliant a player Konsa is, and many Aston Villa fans will be wondering when the de⛦fender will be back in acti🍬on.
Konsa had to come off against Manchester United at the weekend, and that’s cost him his place in t🐻his England camp.
Luckily, the inju𒁃ry isn’t severe and Konsa is expected to be back in one or two weeks – according to .
Aston Villa’s next game is against Fulham after the internatioไnal bre✨ak, and after the Cottagers put Manchester City to the sword at the weekend, that will be far from a simple task.
Adama Traore earned rave reviews for his s♏howing against Manchester City on Saturday playing down the left wing, and M𒁃arco Silva may be tempted to use Traore in the sam꧅e position again at Villa Park if Konsa is out of action.
Villa neꦑed Konsa to return to fitness as soon as possible.
