Paul Pogba Omitted From France Squad After Testing Positive For Covid-19

PARIS — France midfielder Paul Pogba has been left out of their squad for next month's Nations League matches after testing positive for COVID-19, manager Didier Deschamps said on Thursday.

Rennes midfielder Eduardo Camavinga was called up as a late replacement for Manchester United's Pogba.

"I had to make a last-minute change to this list because Paul Pogba was planned to be in this list," Deschamps told reporters.

"But unfortunately for him, he took a test (for COVID-19) yesterday which turned out to be positive today, so at the last minute he was replaced by Eduardo Camavinga."

This follows a number of Chelsea players reportedly going into quarantine after returning from vacation.

France is set to visit Sweden on Sept. 5 and host Croatia three days later.

France squad

  • Goalkeepers: Hugo Lloris, Mike Maignan, Steve Mandanda
  • Defenders: Lucas Digne, Leo Dubois, Lucas Hernandez, Presnel Kimpembe, Clement Lenglet, Ferland Mendy, Dayot Upamecano, Raphael Varane
  • Midfielders: Eduardo Camavinga, N'Golo Kante, Steven Nzonzi, Adrien Rabiot, Moussa Sissoko
  • Forwards: Houssem Aouar, Wissam Ben Yedder, Olivier Giroud, Antoine Griezmann, Jonathan Ikone, Anthony Martial, Kylian Mbappé
