France suffers an unexpected blow that brings back a painful scene from the last World Cup
France suffer a blow against Spain
William Saliba was forced to leave the field during the 2026 World Cup semifinal between France and Spain.
The French defender suffered an injury that prevented him from continuing in the match at AT&T Stadium in Dallas and was substituted after just 30 minutes.
France await news on the extent of the injury
For the moment, the severity of William Saliba’s physical problem and the amount of time he could spend on the sidelines remain unknown.
The injury is a cause for concern for both the French national team and Arsenal, especially with the start of the new season approaching.
France will have to wait for the results of the medical examinations to determine whether the defender could return during the 2026 World Cup or whether his departure against Spain marked the premature end of his participation in the tournament.
