Didier Deschamps is pleased to see Paul Pogba’s ban reduced to 18 months but it is unclear whether he will see him return to the France squad. The

Juventus midfielder was initially banned for four years after testing positive for a stimulant but his appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport reduced the ban to 18 months, meaning Pogba will be available again in March next year.

However, Pogba’s future remains uncertain, with talks between the player and Juventus reportedly over terminating

his contract. As for his international future, Deschamps is pleased to have his ban reduced but would not say whether he will see the player return to the France squad.

“I had a long phone conversation with him during a difficult period when he was struggling. Of course, this is very good news for him. At least now he knows he will be able to play football in March,” Deschamps said.

“January to March will be a period when he will be training hard. It will be a relief for him and I am happy for him. It’s still a heavy punishment but 18 months is lighter than the initial four years. http://ufabet999.app Something has to happen but it’s fantastic news. “There

will now be talks with his club Juventus but at least he knows he will be back on the pitch in March 2025. He loves football. I can assure you that I am in touch and support the players. “

I’ve known Paul since the beginning but when there are difficult moments, injuries, personal problems or suspensions like this one, the players know that I am available to talk to them and to speak to them, and with Paul in this case it was very important for me because we do not know what can happen tomorrow. “

This kind of support is normal, in a relationship of trust that I feel I have with the players.”
