Paul Pogba may not be able to play in the World Cup final for France, but he is proving to be an enthusiastic cheerleader for his teammates.
Pogba was unavailable for selection due to a knee injury he sustained in July, with the midfielder joining the likes of N’Golo Kante, Presnel Kimpembe, Christopher Nkunku and Karim Benzema on the sidelines. The Juventus midfielder was a key player for Didier Deschamps’ side at the 2018 World Cup and was considered a big miss for Les Bleus.
The 29-year-old is focusing on his rehabilitation after his injury required surgery, but he is also doing his best to inspire the France team, who take on Argentina in the World Cup final at the Lusail Stadium on Sunday. He has flown out to Qatar to watch the game and has sent a supportive message to his colleagues before kick-off.
