- Failed doping test in 2023
- Stung with lengthy suspension
- Received invite from the FFF
WHAT HAPPENED?
The 30-year-old midfielder has been hit with a four-year suspension for doping offences. In September 2023, Pogba – who remains on the books of Serie A giants Juventus – was found to have elevated levels of testosterone in his system.
DID YOU KNOW?
France are, however, looking to keep Pogba involved in their camp. According to The Athletic, an invitation from the French Football Federation (FFF) has been extended to a player who has 91 senior caps and 11 goals to his name for his country.
WHAT NEXT?
Pogba, who maintains his innocence and intends to take his case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), will be among those watching on when France face Belgium in the last 16 of Euro 2024 at Merkur-Speil Arena in Dusseldorf on Monday – despite being banned from figuring in any UEFA-sanctioned contest himself.
