The Blues of Didier Deschamps will have to do without Paul Pogba. The midfielder of the France team, injured in the right thigh, forfeited the two qualifying matches for the 2022 World Cup. The world champion is replaced by Jordan Veretout, said the French Football Federation (FFF ) Monday, November 8.
Pogba, “victim of an injury to the quadriceps of the right thigh” according to the FFF, was injured on a strike during the training organized at Clairefontaine on Monday late afternoon. The Manchester United player limped off the field, accompanied by the selection doctor.
He is replaced AS Roma player Jordan Veretout. The one who discovered the Blues for the first time last September against Bosnia, at the age of 28, has four selections to his credit.
France, which is only one victory away from qualifying for the 2022 World Cup, receives Kazakhstan on Saturday, November 13 at the Parc des Princes in Paris, before facing Finland three days later in Helsinki. Paul Pogba swells the list of absentees for these two meetings, after the announced packages of Raphaël Varane and Presnel Kimbembe.
