Formerly essential in the French team, Paul Pogba, injured, missed the last World Cup in Qatar. Despite everything, Didier Deschamps is still counting on him.
Back at Juventus, Paul Pogba had a nightmarish 2022-2023 season. Indeed, the player has chained the physical glitches, thus missing the last edition of the World Cup in Qatar. His return to Serie A is expected with great fanfare. But the player will have to wait before wearing the tricolor tunic again.
In an interview given to The Team, Didier Deschamps spoke about the case of the midfielder. The EDF coach has set the conditions for seeing the 30-year-old star again in the blue jersey. “Is Paul Pogba still a player for the France team? Yes, potentially yes, but he is coming out of such a complicated year, with his injuries, his extra-sporting problems. He has to find all his ways “, said the French technician.
“He has to follow up”
“I discuss with him, of course, said Didier Deschamps. But in his recovery, there is an incompressible time: he has to go through training sessions, then come into play, then matches, and his body must resist. I want Paul in the France team if it’s Paul. But I think he can come back, he has the mentality, the skills. It remains to be seen whether Pogba will succeed in regaining his level by Euro 2024.
