In his absence and with Bayern Munich centre-back Dayot Upamecano missing out as well, Deschamps has recalled Sevilla's Loïc Badé, Atlético de Madrid's Clement Lenglet and gave Juventus' Pierre Kalulu a first senior call-up. Saliba had to be replaced during Arsenal's 1-0 win against Newcastle United on Sunday. The France international was forced off at half-time with a hamstring issue. Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta added that Saliba pulled his hamstring against Eddie Howe's Magpies. 'William is going to be out for a few weeks, unfortunately.'

Matt Turner rejoins Revolution on loan from French club Lyon
The 2022 World Cup starter rose to prominence with New England during his first tenure. Initially signing as an un-drafted free agent, Turner eventually became the team's starter. Simultaneous to the Revolution's rise under Bruce Arena, Turner became one of the best goalkeepers in MLS. This culminated with winning 2021 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year as New England totaled what was then a league record for points in a regular season (clinching the Supporters' Shield). Advertisement In 2022, Turner opted for a transfer to English powerhouse Arsenal. It started a pattern for him in Europe in which — between Arsenal, Nottingham Forest, and later Crystal Palace — he was unable to consistently win a starting spot. That appeared to be changing with the move to Lyon earlier in 2025, but after the French club was unexpectedly hit with Notably, Turner rejoins New England as a Designated Player (an MLS designation indicating that his salary exceeds the regular ' Advertisement New England had previously chosen a The current state of the club that Turner walks back into is very different from the one that he left.

Fabrizio Romano: Liverpool Set to Confirm £15m Transfer Deal
Liverpool Transfers: Fabrizio Romano Confirms £15m Deal After a record-breaking start to the summer window in terms of arrivals, Liverpool's attention has now seemingly switches on to outgoings. Earlier this week, the club confirmed that Luis Diaz would join Bayern Munich in a deal worth £65.5million and now it looks like another could be following him out of the door. Both Fabrizio Romano and Paul Joyce have confirmed that midfielder Tyler Morton is set to join Olympique Lyon in a deal worth £15million. 'Olympique Lyon, closing in on Tyler Morton deal with Liverpool for £15m transfer fee.' 'Negotiations at final stages.' Since making his debut under Jurgen Klopp back in 2021, Morton has always been highly rated at Liverpool. Solid loan spells at Blackburn Rovers and Hull City earned him a season amongst the first-team under Arne Slot. However, he made just five appearances across all competitions for the Reds last season and failed to make a single appearance in the Premier League. It's a good deal for all parties involved. Morton goes abroad with a chance to really kickstart his high-potential career, whilst Liverpool receive a healthy influx of cash that can be put towards strengthening areas of the squad. With that in mind, Liverpool are insisting on signing a central defender before the end of the month. Slot has just two fit senior centre-backs available as it stands, following Jarell Quansah's £35m move to Bayer Leverkusen and Joe Gomez's achilles injury. Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi is at the top of Liverpool's list, but unless Crystal Palace's £45m asking price drops, then the Reds will stay patient and strike a deal when his contract expires next summer. Liverpool also remain keen on agreeing a deal to sign Alexander Isak in a record-breaking move, but that deal has seemingly been put on hold for now. Either way, you can expect more business at Anfield this summer.
