William Saliba in France squad for first time after impressive Marseille performances, Benjamin Pavard pulls out
William Saliba has been named in the France squad for the first time for their forthcoming international friendlies with the Ivory Coast and South Africa. Saliba’s inclusion comes after Benjamin Pavard was forced to pull out of the squad due to testing positive for Covid-19, as Didier Deschamps’ side host the Ivory Coast on March 25 before facing South Africa four days later.
