Bukayo Saka was left unimpressed by Ezri Konsa in England training as the Aston Villa defender passed it too hard to the winger in a rondo.

As per the Three Lions’ Insider Training series, the 26-year-old centre-back is seen passing the ball to Saka at speed, causing the Arsenal winger to miss-control the ball.

Shouting: “He’s shooting at me!” to his teammates and England coach Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, the amusing moment is one that will help Konsa settle in with the international set-up.

The Villa defender was called up in Gareth Southgate’s squad this week as a replacement for Lewis Dunk, with Konsa expected to make his England debut this month against Malta or North Macedonia.

The Premier League defender has been in outstanding form for Villa this season, and many fans and pundits are pleased to see Konsa finally get the recognition he deserves with an England call-up.

Indeed, Konsa has earned the right to play for the Three Lions, and Saka jokingly being unimpressed with the defender’s passing in a team rondo will only help him settle with the team.

Saka can help Konsa feel welcome in the England squad

Despite being one of the youngest players in the set-up, Saka’s experience with the Three Lions is more than enough to show that the Arsenal winger is someone for new arrivals to look up to.

The 22-year-old winger is one of the most beloved players in England’s squad, and for Konsa, Saka can be there for him to help him feel welcome with the group.

As well as warm characters, England’s actual fixtures are perfect for Konsa, with the Three Lions taking on two sides they should dispatch with ease this month in Malta and North Macedonia.

And Konsa will want to impress, with the defender fully aware that good performances in this international break could lead to a spot in the Euro 2024 squad.
