Deschamps Plays Down Saliba Injury Fears

France manager Didier Deschamps has dismissed concerns that Arsenal defender William Saliba will miss the World Cup due to a back issue.

Deschamps confirmed that Saliba is fine and would be available to play if needed, but the team is taking a cautious approach ahead of their warm-up match against Ivory Coast in Nantes.

Saliba linked up with the French squad on Tuesday following his Champions League final appearance on Saturday and Premier League title celebrations in London on Sunday. turconews.click
