France head coach Didier Deschamps says defender William Saliba is “fine” after an injury scare that had raised questions about whether he could be available for the World Cup. The reports described a back injury concern, but Deschamps indicates there is no serious issue at present. Ahead of France’s upcoming warm-up fixtures, Deschamps also says he intends to manage Saliba’s workload cautiously as a precaution. France’s immediate match schedule includes playing Ivory Coast and Northern Ireland at home before the team heads to the United States next week. Across the reports, the central point is that the coaching staff assesses Saliba as fit, despite earlier speculation about his status. The precautionary approach described focuses on limiting exposure and ensuring the player remains healthy for later competition. No source provides new medical details beyond the coach’s assessment and the plan to handle his minutes carefully.
