William Saliba is still far from having withdrawn from the World Cup. This afternoon, we exclusively revealed to you that the Arsenal defender had aggravated an injury while playing in the Champions League final against PSG and that the staff of the France team were more than worried.

Since then, Didier Deschamps has stepped up to reassure the media and this evening, RMC Sport finally reveals the nature of the player’s injury. Saliba suffers from back discomfort, but the latest tests are rather reassuring. Expected at Clairefontaine tomorrow, the Gunner does not know whether or not he will be able to participate in the Blues’ friendly matches.
