Lacroix Called Up to Replace Injured Saliba in France Squad

Crystal Palace defender Maxence Lacroix has been named as William Saliba's replacement in France's squad for the upcoming international friendlies against Brazil and Colombia. Saliba, who played the full 90 minutes in Arsenal's 2-0 loss to Manchester City in the EFL Cup final on Sunday, has been ruled out due to a left ankle injury. The 24-year-old Arsenal center-back will miss the matches as he recovers.
