France receives good news ahead of the start of the season.

Central defender William Saliba has been confirmed to have recovered from injury and is ready to play against Senegal in Group I on June 17th.

Saliba is expected to be fit to return for France's opening match at the 2026 World Cup.

According to journalist Fabrice Hawkins, the central defender officially completed the full training program with the team in Boston (USA) on June 13th (local time). Prior to that, French fans were on edge when Saliba entered the tournament with a recurring back injury sustained in the Champions League final.

Initial reports even expressed concerns that Saliba might miss the biggest football event on the planet. Coach Didier Deschamps quickly reassured the public. Saliba himself further strengthened confidence with an impressive performance in 45 minutes in the 3-1 victory against Northern Ireland on June 8th.
