It’s a huge blow that has just fallen on the France team. According to our information, William Saliba could be absent for several weeks! The 25-year-old central defender would have aggravated an already present injury by playing in the Champions League final against PSG on Saturday. Lost final, and much more…
Because by gritting his teeth to be present on the field, the strong right center put his World Cup dream in jeopardy. For Saliba, 31 selections in Blue, it is a race against time which begins, he who could claim a starting place alongside Dayot Upamecano.
What solutions?
And inevitably, it’s a big blow to the head of Didier Deschamps, who may have to review his plans for his central defense. This remains a rather well-stocked sector in the French team, notably with Ibrahima Konaté. There is also Maxence Lacroix, Lucas Hernandez, even Jules Koundé who can apply.
However, considering the season of Saliba, considered the best right central defender in England, it is impossible to pretend that this possible absence is not bad news for the Blues, 15 days before the first match of the competition, against Senegal.
