Last November, he said something similar and suggested that Saliba (right) has suffered because the team has rotated a lot and when he has had a chance, he feels under a pressure to perform that he does not get at club level.
It feels strange that Benjamin Pavard and Dayot Upamecano have started ahead of him and played against Germany on Saturday, while Saliba warmed the bench.
