France manager Didier Deschamps' decision to not hand William Saliba a World Cup debut has garnered a massive response from Arsenal supporters on social media.
Having been named in the final 26-man squad and with Manchester United defender Raphael Varane a doubt, there had been talk of the Gunners ace being rewarded for his brilliant form at club level so far this season by starting for Les Bleus against Australia this evening.
However, Deschamps has had other ideas. The Arsenal defender is named in the matchday squad, although he is on the bench as Bayern Munich's Dayot Upamecano and Liverpool's Ibrahima Konate are chosen as the centre-back partnership for the defending champions.
