The French national team and English club Arsenal have received a new blow with the confirmation of defender William Saliba's absence, a player for Arsenal, for a period ranging from three to four weeks due to an ankle injury.

Saliba sustained the injury during the match between Arsenal and Liverpool in the Premier League, and he had to leave the match early just three minutes after it began.

According to the French newspaper "L'Équipe", the French international is almost certain to miss the upcoming training camp for the French national team in October, which increases the challenges faced by coach Didier Deschamps, especially after the injuries of both Désiré Doué and Ousmane Dembélé during the recent match against Ukraine.

William Saliba's injury is not only a blow to the French national team but also represents a significant loss for Arsenal, which relies heavily on the French defender in the back line. With his anticipated absence for several weeks, coach Mikel Arteta will need to find suitable defensive alternatives.
