Champions League Final Woes: Saliba Faces 2026 World Cup Doubt
Arsenal centre-back William Saliba aggravated a longstanding issue during Saturday’s Champions League final against PSG in Budapest. He played the full 120 minutes as Arsenal lost on penalties after a 1-1 draw. Reports say Saliba picked up a more serious problem in the Puskás Aréna defeat. This setback could put his participation in the 2026 World Cup at risk, with France set to open against Senegal on June 16. The 25-year-old was a key figure in Arsenal’s Premier League title win and has formed a strong partnership with Dayot Upamecano in the French defence. Manager Didier Deschamps may need to reshuffle his back line if Saliba is sidelined.
