William Saliba is currently out injured with a knee injury, but his recovery process is progressing well according to Marseille manager Lucien Favre.

Saliba has been a key player for Marseille this season, making 12 appearances in all competitions before his injury. The 19-year-old centre-back has made a strong impression on the French league, and he was named in the Ligue 1 team of the week after scoring a goal against Nice last month.

However, Saliba's injury came as a shock, as he had not played since August due to a hamstring problem. He underwent surgery to repair a torn hamstring ligament, which ruled him out for several weeks.

Despite missing so much time, Saliba's recovery process is going well, according to Favre. The manager said that Saliba is "in good shape" and that he will be back on the pitch soon. He added that Saliba's return could come as early as next week, depending on how quickly he recovers.

Favre also expressed optimism about Saliba's potential comeback. He believes that the young defender has the physical strength and mental resilience to overcome his injury and return to full fitness. He added that Saliba's experience and leadership qualities will help him recover faster and return stronger than ever.

Overall, it seems that Saliba's recovery process is on track and that he should be back in action soon. His return could be crucial for Marseille, who are currently in the middle of a relegation battle. With Saliba back in the lineup, Marseille will have a solid center-back partnership with Lucas Hernandez, and they will hope that their defense can hold up against some tough opposition.
