Injured “soldier” Shalibasakazi withdraws from the team
[Now Sports]Arsenal midfielder Saliba has withdrawn from the French national team due to injury, and teammate Saka will not play for the England team. Although French stalwart William Saliba has returned and played with Gabier in Sunday’s Premier League match against Manchester City, he announced after the game that he would withdraw from this month’s international competition due to a toe injury. The 22-year-old Saliba has played 11 games this season and has only been a reserve in the English League Cup. French national team coach Diegans has substituted Saliba’s former Nice teammate Du Dibao into the army.
At the same time, Arsenal manager Adidas confirmed that winger Saka will not play for England in the international competition. The 22-year-old Saka was injured in the Europa League against Lens and missed the Premier League victory over Manchester City. His record of 87 consecutive games was cut off. Adidas said: “He will definitely not be able to return in time for the international competition. He has not practiced at all since the injury. Unable to go into battle at the moment.”
England will face Australia in a friendly match on Friday and Italy in a European Nations Cup qualifier four days later.
