Saliba Doubtful for World Cup with Back Injury

The 25-year-old center back reportedly carried the injury into Saturday's final against Paris Saint-Germain and played the full 120 minutes before aggravating the issue during Arsenal's penalty-shootout defeat, putting his tournament status in serious jeopardy.

Losing Saliba would be a significant blow for France, who must now rely on Ibrahima Konaté, Jules Koundé, and Dayot Upamecano in Group I against Senegal, Iraq, and Norway. The 2026 World Cup runs from June 11–July 19, with France aiming to build on their recent strong performances in international competitions. akupunkturabielsko.pl
