Saliba, the young French defender who has been making waves in Ligue 1 this season, is set to make his first start for Marseille on Saturday against Nice.

The 22-year-old has made a strong impression since joining the club from Monaco last summer and has already shown that he has what it takes to be a top-level player.

One of his most impressive performances came against Lyon earlier this month when he scored a stunning goal in a 4-1 victory. He was also involved in another important goal during the same match, as he helped set up the opening goal with a well-taken cross.

In addition to his goalscoring ability, Saliba is also known for his defensive skills. He is a strong and physical player who can read the game well and provide cover for his teammates.

Marseille manager Lucien Favre is excited about the prospect of seeing Saliba play in front of the home fans. "He's a very talented player and I'm sure he'll do well," said Favre. "He's still learning and developing, but he's got the potential to become one of the best defenders in France."

Overall, Saliba is expected to have a big impact on Marseille's season and could potentially earn himself a place in the France national team in the future. With his talent, skill and determination, he is definitely one to watch.
