Latest Updates on His National Team Future"},"content":{"rendered":"

Former Manchester United and Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba has been the subject of speculation regarding his potential return to the France national team.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following his doping ban<\/a>, which saw him sidelined from competitive football for 18 months, Pogba is now eligible to play again.<\/p>\n

With the 2026 World Cup<\/a> on the horizon, the question remains: Will Paul Pogba play for France again?<\/p>\n

Pogba’s Ban and Return to Football<\/h2>\n

Pogba last played a competitive match on September 3, 2023, for Juventus against FC Empoli. Shortly after, he was handed a doping ban that initially ruled him out of action for four years.<\/p>\n

However, upon appeal, his suspension was reduced to 18 months, allowing him to officially return to football as of March 2025.<\/p>\n

Juventus subsequently terminated his contract, making him a free agent.<\/p>\n

As of now, Pogba is evaluating his options, with clubs from Europe, the MLS, Saudi Arabia, and even the FIFA Club World Cup expressing interest.<\/p>\n
