DESCHAMPS BACKS POGBA TO BOUNCE BACK
Didier Deschamps has backed Paul Pogba to come through his difficult spell at Manchester United after naming him in the France squad to face colombia and Russia.
Pogba started from the bench in both legs as United were knocked out of the Champions League by Sevilla, having struggled to rediscover his best form with his performances for United under heavy scrutiny.
But the former Juve Midfielder has not lost his place for France, with Deschamps acknowledging that even top players struggle at one time or another.
“I do not know what undroppable means,” Deschamps said of Pogba’s inclusion. “In september or October, we questioned Antoine Griezmann – why not? It was said that (kylian) Mbappe was struggling. Today he’s at top form.
