Secures four clearances
Konsa generated one tackle (one won), four clearances and one interception in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Panama.
Analysis: Konsa delivered a stellar performance on Saturday, recording four clearances and an exceptional 99 percent pass accuracy. He is one of the few England players to have played all 90 minutes in each of the three group‑stage matches, finishing the round with a 97 percent overall pass accuracy while winning 14 duels and making five clearances. His consistency and composure at the back have contributed to two clean sheets, reinforcing his importance to England's defensive structure heading into the knockout rounds.
Quiet defensive outing in draw
Konsa had one tackle (one won) and one clearance in Tuesday's 0-0 draw against Ghana.
Analysis: Konsa was barely required to work on defensive duties during a calm game, but he did rack up 116 passes as his side retained ball possession throughout the match. The clean sheet was his first in two World Cup contests so far. He'll likely remain active in upcoming rounds, looking to achieve better tackling and clearance numbers when England face tougher opposition.
