In the latest injury update in Marseille, French footballer William Saliba has sustained a knee ligament injury. The 29-year-old midfielder is currently undergoing treatment at hospital and will be out for several weeks.

Saliba's injury came after he suffered a blow to his leg during a match against Lyon on Sunday. He was involved in a collision with goalkeeper Mathieu Valbuena and the impact caused him to fall to the ground. Saliba fell awkwardly and landed hard on his left knee.

The severity of the injury is not yet known but it appears to be a serious one as he will need surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his knee. Saliba had been training regularly before the injury occurred and he will now have to wait for further tests to determine the extent of the damage.

Marseille, who are currently seventh in the league table, have already announced that they will be without their star player until the end of the season. They will also miss out on the Europa League final due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The injury update comes just days before the start of the Champions League, where Marseille will face Barcelona. Saliba's absence could potentially affect their chances of progressing past the group stages. However, the team will still be confident that they can overcome any challenges that come their way.

As the world continues to navigate through the ongoing pandemic, it's important to remember that football remains a vital part of our lives. We hope that Saliba recovers quickly and returns to full fitness soon.
