International round-up: Saliba & Balogun in action

William Saliba's World Cup hopes were boosted on Thursday night as he gave an impressive performance during France's 2-0 win over Austria in the Nations League.

Our Frenchman was subbed on in the 23rd minute by Didier Deschamps after Barcelona's Jules Kounde suffered an early injury. Saliba ensured a clean sheet at the Stade de France, along with a 92% passing accuracy.

He was called up to the senior French side for the first time in March this year and will be looking to impress further on Sunday against Denmark, in order to secure his place in France's World Cup squad.
