## Resource

Saliba’s back injury, aggravated by his heroic penalty shootout performance in the Champions League final, now casts serious doubt on his World Cup prospects. Despite playing through pain to help Arsenal win the league and reach the final, his recovery timeline is uncertain, potentially sidelining him for France’s June opener. With depth at center-back in players like Upamecano and Konaté, Les Bleus have options—but Saliba’s absence could reshape their defensive plans.
