General mobilization! On the eve of their continental round of 16 against Belgium, the Blues are united, to the point of calling back their elders. To face the Red Devils, Didier Deschamps’ men will be able to count on the support of two 2018 world champions: Paul Pogba and Blaise Matuidi.
Le Parisien reported this Sunday that the two former French internationals will travel to Germany on Monday morning to be at the Düsseldorf meeting, in the stands of the Merkur Spiel Arena (kick-off for this France-Belgium at 6 p.m.).
Waiting for the CAS
Now 37, Blaise Matuidi hung up his boots in 2022; Paul Pogba is serving a four-year ban for doping with dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). Pending his appeal before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), La Pioche has not played for the national team since March 2022.
