Saliba Faces Challenges in Securing France Starting Spot Ahead of Euro 2024

Despite a strong season with Arsenal, William Saliba struggles for playing time under Deschamps due to performance concerns.

Didier Deschamps highlights the need for Arsenal's William Saliba to iron out kinks in his game before earning a France starting position.
Saliba has started in six of his 12 appearances for France but was benched during the recent 2-0 defeat to Germany.
Dayot Upamecano, Ibrahima Konate, and Benjamin Pavard are preferred for France's defense, complicating Saliba's inclusion.
Saliba's consistent performance for Arsenal, including starting all 28 Premier League games this season, contrasts with his limited national team opportunities.
Deschamps acknowledges the challenging context for Saliba in the national team but promises game time in the upcoming friendly against Chile.
