The 30-year-old midfielder has been hit with a four-year suspension for doping offences.

He also failed a B test, leading to the National Anti-Doping Tribunal handing out a lengthy sentence that is preventing Pogba from taking to the field.

As things stand, the former Manchester United star will not be cleared to resume his professional career until 2027.

France are, however, looking to keep Pogba involved in their camp.

According to The Athletic, an invitation from the French Football Federation (FFF) has been extended to a player who has 91 senior caps and 11 goals to his name for his country.
