It’s official since last Thursday:
the France team is guaranteed to participate in the 2026 World Cup. And this, even before their final playoff match scheduled for this Sunday in Azerbaijan.
According to a survey carried out by Odoxa for Winamax and RTL, 30% of French people imagine the Blues collecting a third star next July. Only 44% of those questioned want Paul Pogba to make his return in the rooster jersey.
Despite his signing for AS Monaco during the last summer transfer window, the former Manchester United player did not
still not played any official match
with the Principality club. However, Didier Deschamps does not rule out his return to the national team.
Pogba, a return to Blue unlikely
“He is getting closer to the moment when he will become a player in football again. A return to the French team? That he wants it and that it is a goal in his head, I have no doubt. Afterwards, he has steps to take. The next is when he will have the ASM jersey and he will set foot on the pitch. I hope it goes well for him. Afterwards, we’ll see.” explained the native of Bayonne at the beginning of last month.
“La Pioche” has not played any official match since September 3, 2023. It was a short appearance in the colors of Juventus Turin against Empoli. As for the last meeting where Pogba played a full 90 minutes, we have to go back to March 12, 2022, during a confrontation between Manchester United and Tottenham.
