The trio drop out after sustaining injuries for their respective clubs over the weekend in what is a triple injury blow for Carsley's new-look side.
Konsa, 26, suffered a hamstring injury and left the pitch just 12 minutes into Villa's goalless draw with Manchester United.
And Gibbs-White, 24, was removed after 76 minutes of Nottingham Forest's 1-1 draw at Chelsea.
But Mainoo played 85 minutes at Old Trafford on Sunday before he was replaced by Casemiro.

It comes as a further blow for under-fire boss Erik ten Hag who also lost the services of Harry Maguire, who left Villa Park in a plastic boot.
Maguire was dropped from Carsley's squad after featuring in September and Mainoo has been carrying a knock for some time.
The 19-year-old midfielder was subbed off shortly before half-time during Man Utd's 3-0 demolition at the hands of Spurs a fortnight ago.
Mainoo travelled to Portugal with the Red Devils on Thursday as they drew 3-3 with Porto, but missed the game with a minor issue.
