The Blues midfielder, who left the field during training on Monday with a limp after a strike, will leave the meeting.


After Raphaël Varane and Presnel Kimpembe (hamstrings), a new captain of the France team will not play the decisive France-Kazakhstan this Saturday at the Parc des Princes for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in Qatar.

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is, in fact, officially withdrawn from the rest of the rally due to an injury to the quadriceps of the right thigh.

He is replaced by Jordan Veretout (4 capes) summoned during the September and October courses. The AS Roma midfielder is expected this Tuesday, November 9 at Clairefontaine while Paul Pogba will leave the rally the same day.

This Monday at the end of the afternoon, during a very light inaugural training, Paul Pogba left the field limping after a strike on goal.

The Manchester United midfielder stood behind the right thigh.

He stopped short with a little cry of pain.

The international player with 89 caps immediately left the field with the French team doctor, Franck Le Gall.

A car then came to pick it up at the edge of the lawn.

The first echoes were not encouraging as to his ability to remain in the group and the announcement of his package was made official this Monday at the very end of the evening.

With Rabiot or Tchouaméni

Last Tuesday, during the Champions League match at Atalanta Bergamo (2-2), the 2018 world champion had to give way to Nemanja Matic 21 minutes from the end because he had already felt a thigh alert law.

"La Pioche" then did not participate this Saturday in the Premier League in the derby against Manchester City (0-2), because he was sent off on October 24 against Liverpool (0-5).

Coach Didier Deschamps will have to replace Paul Pogba in his starting eleven for the match against Kazakhstan, then against Finland on Tuesday, November 16.

We should therefore focus on a pair of defensive midfielder N'Golo Kanté - Adrien Rabiot, even if the Monegasque Aurélien Tchouaméni, who has managed two excellent last gatherings, can shake up the hierarchy.
