Why isn’t Paul Pogba playing for France at the World Cup?

Pogba is yet to make an appearance for Juventus since his return to Turin in the summer.

Therefore, a World Cup call-up was always unlikely for the French star despite his best wishes.

He returned to Juventus training in November after having surgery on his knee following injury and may have been optimistic ahead of the tournament.

However, Pogba carried out tests in Italy and the USA before it was confirmed that he would not be fit for the World Cup.

A Juventus spokesman confirmed: “We won’t see him until 2023, and his entourage have confirmed that also he will be out of the World Cup.”;
