This is the big news of the weekend on the European scene. Testing positive for testosterone in August 2023, Paul Pogba was suspended for a period of four years. However, this was reduced to 18 months.
Which should allow him to make his return in March 2025 to the delight of football lovers and the French. Enough to make fans of the France team dream, who are starting to believe in a return of the midfielder for the 2026 World Cup.
Indeed, the 2018 world champion will be selectable again after his suspension. He could therefore make his return to Blue if he does not get injured and if Didier Deschamps decides to recall him.
What if Paul Pogba played in the 2026 World Cup with the France team? Nothing is impossible. The French midfielder would then be 33 years old during the competition. A reasonable age to compete in a World Cup.
It remains to be seen whether Didier Deschamps will keep him in his plans or if he will trust the youth and the new generation. To be continued. But it is very likely that the Tricolores coach will be questioned about the Pogba case in the coming days.
