Deschamps: I won't take injured players to Qatar World Cup

France boss Didier Deschamps wants players Rafael Varane and Paul Pogba to contribute at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, after announcing that he would not bring any injured players to the World Cup.


Manchester United centre-back Varane is not expected to play any club games until the start of the 2022 World Cup final in Qatar due to a leg injury. Pogba has returned to training with Juventus after undergoing knee surgery, but will not be back soon.


"I've never played a big game with an injured player," Deschamps told French website Brut.


"But going to have a big game with players who aren't ready has taken too much attention and it has monopolized the medical staff for the players who have to play. So I think we have to keep the capable ones. player."


Deschamps strongly wants Pogba to board the plane to Qatar, and it hasn't been a good time for Pogba to leave football recently. Because Pogba's brother Mathias and other armed gangs extorted Pogba, the amount of extortion was as high as 13 million euros.


"It was a very difficult time for him. I talked to him a lot. He's a big man. Obviously, given his injury, it's not an easy thing. But mentally, he's fine. "


From Deschamps' interview, it can be seen that Pogba has come out of his heart about the blackmail, and I hope he can come back and show his strength on the Qatar World Cup stadium.
