Wesley Fofana is targeting a World Cup spot with France as he takes another major step this week in his comeback - with one eye on ousting Arsenal's William Saliba from the squad.
The Leicester centre-back made his first Premier League appearance of the term in Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Manchester United after a broken leg and ankle ligament damage in pre-season. Fofana is set for his first back to back games inside a week when the Foxes host PSV Eindhoven in Europe on Thursday.
Fofana, 21, signed from St Etienne in October 2020 for £30million, also admits eyeing a senior international debut and place at Qatar. The highly-rated ace faces stiff competition from French stoppers Raphael Varane, Lucas Hernandez, Presnel Kimpembe, Jules Kounde and Saliba, who were all in Didier Deschamps’ most recent squad.
