Konsa and O'Reilly doubts to face Czech Republic

Ezri Konsa and Nico O'Reilly remain doubtful for England's upcoming Nations League fixture against the Czech Republic scheduled for Tuesday evening. The pair were the sole England internationals to skip Monday's training session, opting instead to follow personal recovery programmes. Both defenders featured for the full 90 minutes in England's 3-2 defeat to Spain on Saturday. O'Reilly, who started at left‑back—a role he cemented during the World Cup—would see his absence create an opening for Lewis Hall. The equaliser that brought Spain level at 2‑2 at Wembley stemmed from a mistake by O'Reilly, allowing Alex Baena to score before Spain secured the win. Konsa, an Arsenal centre‑back, has become one of head coach Tuchel’s most relied‑upon players, having started seven of England’s eight World Cup matches. Should Konsa be unavailable, Jarrad Branthwaite, who replaced Marc Guehi late in the Spain encounter, is positioned to contend for a starting spot. England are set to contest four matches during this international window. Following the loss to Spain, the team will face the Czech Republic both at home and away, with the trips bookending a visit to Rijeka to play Croatia.
