William Saliba set to feature for France in absence of injured Ibrahima Konate

The Arsenal centre-back has yet again impressed this season
As per the news from L'Équipe, Arsenal centre-back William Saliba (22) is anticipated to make his debut for France when Les Bleus face Ireland tomorrow in Paris' Parc des Princes as a component of their quest to qualify for the Euro 2024.
Didier Deschamps, the manager of the France national team, is prepared to change up his centre-back partnership against Ireland without Ibrahima Konaté (24).
The Liverpool player has essentially taken Raphael Varane's spot as the starting right-sided centre-back alongside Dayot Upamecano. Konaté and the Bayern defender grew close while they were both playing for RB Leipzig.
Saliba, who has fully healed from the back problem that prevented him from having a breakout campaign with the Gunners, is set to make his ninth start for France, according to L'Équipe.
Axel Disasi and Jean-Clair Todibo are just two of the many centre-backs Deschamps has to select from. While Jules Koundé and Lucas Hernandez can also play at the centre of the defence, the other two are likely to play as full-backs.
According to the source, Eduardo Camavinga will reportedly start in place of Aurélien Tchouaméni in midfield against Ireland. Randal Kolo Muani, a forward recently acquired by Paris Saint-Germain, missed Tuesday's practice due to an ankle complaint.
Olivier Giroud, France's all-time leading scorer, is therefore anticipated to receive Deschamps' approval tomorrow.
To start on the right wing, Kingsley Coman and Ousmane Dembélé will face off against one another. According to L'Équipe, the Bayern player will start alongside Kylian Mbappé, the captain of France.
