Paul Pogba injured his meniscus in the friendly against Guadalajara Chivas and will miss the first games of the new season with Juventus, the club where he returned with zero parameters after six seasons at United.
The 29-year-old refused the surgical intervention despite the insistence of the Italian club, as he does not want to jeopardize his participation in the World Cup in Qatar, which will take place between November 21 and December 18.
The coach of the French national team, Didier Deschamps, has reassured the fans with the last statement for "Le Parisien", where he states that the midfielder will be present at this year's World Cup.
The coach of the world champions commented on the situation in the midfield, a department where apart from Pogba, N'Golo Kante is also very important, who is not in good sports shape due to physical problems.
However, Deschamps is not worried at all. "We are talking about highly sought-after players with great experience. It is important that they are present at the World Cup, but we are never sure.
Pogba? Of course I am in constant contact with Paul. His participation in the World Cup is not in question at all", declared the 53-year-old Frenchman.
