# Aston Villa: Fans react to Preece’s post on Konsa

**Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa was once again overlooked by England manager Gareth Southgate ahead of the upcoming international break.**

Reliable Villa Park reporter [Ashley Preece](https://twitter.com/PreeceObserver/status/1443570395727089673) shared a post regarding Konsa’s snub on Thursday, which led to a number of Villa fans giving their thoughts on social media.

[Ollie Watkins](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58745456) earned a recall to England’s 23-man squad, while [Tyrone Mings](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58745456) kept his place, but Konsa is yet to be included for the first time.

AC Milan’s [Fikayo Tomori](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58745456) was given the nod due to Manchester United’s Harry Maguire not being available.

[Preece](https://twitter.com/PreeceObserver/status/1443570395727089673) took to Twitter shortly after England’s squad was announced, labelling Konsa as a Rolls-Royce of a defender.

The 23-year-old has been a [regular](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ezri-konsa/leistungsdaten/spieler/413403) under Dean Smith in recent seasons, with [Preece](https://twitter.com/PreeceObserver/status/1443570395727089673) describing Konsa as a phenomenal and consistent performer.
