EdF: Pogba dreams of a return, the door is already closed

Thanks to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), which reduced his suspension to 18 months, Paul Pogba will be able to return to competition next March. The idea of ​​a return to the French team is starting to circulate. But not sure that the environment will be able to regain a sufficient level.

With the departures of players like Raphaël Varane, Hugo Lloris and more recently Antoine Griezmann, the France team has lost executives in recent years. In this context, the return of Paul Pogba would not displease coach Didier Deschamps. Especially since the Juventus Turin midfielder, authorized to return to the field next March after his reduced suspension for doping, will return with full determination.

Pogba will return determined

« He has a slab but an incredible slabwarned his friend Patrice Evra on RMC. It’s a Pogba with fangs who will come back. He misses football a lot. For him, watching the matches, also those of the France team… He was dejected. » La “Pioche” has undoubtedly imagined a return before the 2026 World Cup. But the path promises to be difficult, even impossible according to journalist Christophe Cessieux. “ In the French team, no, decided the member of the Grandes Gueules du Sport. We are so far away from that. He will already be authorized to play in March 2025, he will be 32 years old. Before this story, he had three or four seasons where he was constantly injured. »

« The ankle, the knee… He was injured everywhere. Muscular problems, then psychological problems, 1,000 days of injury and you can imagine it today, at 32 years old, while all the stars of the 2018 World Cup are leaving the France team little by little. little, we had the example with Griezmann, coming back and saying: “that’s it, I’m the captain again with the France team jersey”? I don’t believe it for a seconddismissed Christophe Cessieux. I think he will find a level to play in a good club, perhaps a good French club. But for the big European clubs and the French team, I think it’s threadbare. » Paul Pogba will probably accept the challenge.
