After causing concern at the start of the rally, William Saliba reassured everyone by making his big return to the Blues’ collective training this Saturday. The Arsenal central defender seems to have definitively overcome his back problems and is now applying for a starting place for the World Cup.
Present at a press conference, Didier Deschamps made the good news official, confirming that his player was fully operational to challenge Northern Ireland this Monday evening: “he trained with us yesterday, he is doing well. It is available for tomorrow“. This should be very reassuring for the Blues.
