The news has been breaking in the world of football as William Saliba has been ruled out for an unspecified period due to an ankle injury. The French international was called up to the France national team for the upcoming World Cup but is now likely to miss out on the tournament. Saliba, who signed for Marseille from Paris Saint-Germain in January 2019, had hoped to be available for the opening match against Belgium on June 14th but it appears that this will not be the case. The 27-year-old midfielder has been dealing with an ankle injury since November and it is expected that he will require surgery to repair the damage. While Saliba's absence may have a knock-on effect on his performance during the tournament, there are still plenty of talented players who could step in to replace him. This includes fellow France internationals N'Golo Kante, Marquinhos and Mathieu Valbuena,La Liga Stadium who are all capable of providing a strong presence off the bench. It remains to be seen how long Saliba will be out of action, but there are already signs that he may be able to return soon. He has already started training sessions again and it is possible that he will be back in action before the end of the season. In the meantime, Saliba's teammates will need to find a replacement quickly if they want to continue their impressive form. With only one year left until he turns 30, it will be interesting to see what impact he can bring to the team going forward. |
