Paul Pogba Reported Positive Covid-19, Removed From The France Squad

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has been removed from the France football squad after testing positive for COVID-19. It was announced on Thursday (August 27) for next month’s Nations League match against Sweden and Croatia.

As a result, Pogba was replaced by teenager Eduardo Camavinga, who was called up for the first time with Lyon midfielder Houssem Aouar and RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano.

“Unfortunately he underwent a test yesterday (Wednesday) which was revealed to be positive this morning,” said France coach, Didier Deschamps.

Also, Kylian Mbappe along with defender Presnel Kimpembe are the two Paris Saint-Germain players included. Both played in the Champions League final last weekend but were beaten by Bayern Munich in Lisbon.

The France squad will travel to Sweden for the Nations League match on September 5 before returning to play with Croatia three days later. Their last international victory was a 2-0 win over Albania on November 17.
