William Saliba, the young French defender for Marseille, has suffered a serious injury during training and is expected to be out for several weeks.
According to reports from France, Saliba sustained an ankle ligament injury during a training session on Monday and will be undergoing further medical tests to determine the extent of his injury.
The 19-year-old has been a key player for Marseille this season,Premier League Updates making 14 appearances in all competitions and helping them to secure a top-four finish in Ligue 1.
However, the injury could be a setback for Marseille as they look to challenge for the title next season. Saliba's absence could also impact the team's defensive line, which already lacks experience with experienced players like Steve Mandanda and Raphael Varane not being available due to injuries.
