Paul Pogba Aims for World Cup 2026 Comeback with France
Former Manchester United and Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba is determined to make a comeback and represent France at the 2026 World Cup. The Frenchman has not played an official match since September 3, 2023, when he tested positive for a banned substance, leading to a lengthy suspension.
Pogba's doping ban, initially set for four years, was later reduced, allowing him to return to football. His contract with Juventus was terminated as a result of the scandal, but as of yesterday, Pogba is a free agent and available to sign with any club.
Despite receiving lucrative offers from outside Europe, Pogba is taking his time to decide his next move. His primary focus is to regain his form and fitness to earn a spot in the French national team for the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
