However, there were more awkward outcomes awaiting Saliba, with the defender left behind by the team bus.

According to Le'Equipe, the centre-back had to stay behind as he was among the players selected for anti-doping tests.

It is understood that the 23-year-old made his way out of the stadium more than an hour and a half after his teammates had departed.
