The head coach of the French national team, Didier Deschamps, warned longtime team player Paul Pogba. According to the specialist, the injured defender must recover in time and regain good athletic form, otherwise he will lose the chance to participate in the World Cup in Qatar. "He will not be selected just because it's common. If Paul has not played before and has not reached his best athletic form, then the player will be worthless," clarified D. Deschamps, who presented the French squad for the upcoming Nations League matches against Austria and Denmark.
