Paul Pogba, a surprise package Sunday in the derby of Manchester, will be Monday in Clairefontaine to determine with the medical staff if he can participate in the next matches of the French team, told AFP the coaching of the Blues.
Manchester United midfielder "will be here tomorrow" in Clairefontaine, where players are expected around 12 pm, and "he will make a point with the medical staff," it was said. The doctors of the France team will then decide if the world champion is fit to play against the Netherlands Friday in Rotterdam in the League of Nations and the following Tuesday in friendly against Uruguay at the Stade de France.
After Manchester City's 3-1 win on Sunday, Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho has hinted that his player will not be able to wear the blue tunic. Asked about the possibility of seeing Pogba play with the France team, the Portuguese answered "no". The Frenchman was injured Wednesday in the win against Juventus in the Champions League, according to the coach of the Red Devils.
Pogba "was injured during the match in Turin, he resisted, he felt he could resist, it was a crucial match for the team, he made this sacrifice for us, but it was impossible for him to recover "in time for the derby, said Mourinho before the derby, without specifying the nature of the inconvenience.
