For its last rally of the year, the France team will have to do without one of its defenders. William Saliba withdrew. He is digitally replaced by Jean-Clair Todibo.
Before moving on to 2024, the French team still has one more rally to come. Two final matches to be played in the calendar year with firstly a trip to the Netherlands on October 13, as part of qualifying for Euro 2024, before a friendly against Scotland four days later on near Lille. For his two matches, Didier Deschamps will have to do without William Saliba who withdrew this Sunday.
While he was present on the pitch at the Emirates Stadium during Arsenal’s remarkable success over Manchester City (1-0, 8th day of the Premier League), Saliba will not be operational in the coming weeks, the fault of a chronic pain in the right big toe, specified The Team. As a result, the Blues coach will call on Jean-Clair Todibo.
Todibo for a second?
Appearing for the last time with the blue jersey on September 12, during the friendly match lost by France against Germany, William Saliba is not usually a starter in Didier Deschamps’ system, but his high-level experience was a sort of insurance in the event of a less good blow from the usual Dayot Upamecano and Ibrahima Konaté.
Also present during the recent defeat against the Mannschaft, Jean-Clair Todibo will perhaps have the opportunity to offer himself a second selection for the A if he comes into play.
