The coach explained that his midfielder, currently injured in the knee, would not benefit from any free pass: he will not be at the


On the occasion of the announcement of his list of Blues for the two League of Nations matches against Austria and then Denmark next week, Didier Deschamps knew that he would not be questioned only about those present.

The name of Paul Pogba quickly came to his ears.

And he was logically challenged on the race against time in which the midfielder of Juventus of Turin embarked, recently operated on a knee and who hopes to be ready for the next World Cup (November 20 - December 18).

“It is impossible to say anything, replies the coach invited to say whether or not he was optimistic about the return of “La Pioche” before leaving for Qatar.

Say if the intervention and its protocol are going well?

Yes.

There is a delay with a more or less short or long range.

I know Paul very well, with whom I exchange regularly.

He will do everything to come back as soon as possible, but without taking any risks.

I say it sincerely, nobody, even him, me either, can affirm anything.

Before even talking about the second criterion, which may be his athletic condition and his playing time, he must already be cured.

"He won't come just because he's part of the executives"

The coach nevertheless drove the point home: there will be no free pass, regardless of the status of the player in selection.

“For a final tournament, I never took a player if he was not completely recovered, he continues.

Paul has enough respect for himself, he's not a GO.

He does not intend to come to amuse the gallery.

“The physical aspect will be essential and, obviously, Pogba will have to have replayed with his club to hope.

“Physically fit even without having played with Juve, wonders Deschamps openly.

No.

If it's coming to come… He doesn't want that either.

It is not conceivable.

The number of players who will be there, they will all be ready to play.

Afterwards, there may be disparities on the athletic level.

It's a matter of competition.

he won't come just because he's part of the cadre.

Those who will be selected will be able to meet these requirements.

The other front concerning Pogba is obviously that of this investigation, after the complaint of the player, for suspicions of extortion at the expense of the latter.

On this, Deschamps wanted to be much more withdrawn than on the sporting aspect: “I exchanged regularly with Paul.

You should not ask me to intervene in the stories, those that have been created.

It is factual today, you know, in his private domain with justice doing its job.

But despite everything, Paul remains solid, with character and he is focused on the field, in order to come back and give himself the means to recover.
