France manager Didier Deschamps has warned Paul Pogba there is no way he boards the plane to Qatar for the World Cup unless he is fully fit.
Juventus midfielder Pogba, 29, is facing an uphill battle to feature at the winter tournament after undergoing surgery on a knee issue he sustained during pre-season. Massimiliano Allegri does not expect the former Manchester United man to return to action until the new year, saying: "We will realistically get him back in January."
Speaking earlier this month, the Juve boss also admitted that the World Cup is no concern of his. He added: "This morning, Pogba trained for the second time but then stopped, and it was then decided that he undergo surgery. The World Cup is not my problem, Juventus' problem is that he comes back in January."
