Arsenal stopper Saliba called up to France squad

Arsenal defender William Saliba has been named in the final France squad before the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The 21-year-old has been rewarded for his return to England after spending last season at Marseille.

There were fears Saliba could miss the France squad if his playing time was reduced in north London.

However, Saliba has been one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League over the opening six games.

Saliba has won five caps for Les Bleus since his first call-up in March 2022.
