Paul Pogba was injured after taking a shot on goal and France knocked him out of the Playoffs | VIDEO

Paul Pogba enthusiastically attended the call of the French team with a view to the double day of the Qatar 2022 World Cup Qualifiers. However, the good spirits disappeared completely during an action that seems simple in view of the spectators. The midfielder tried a shot at goal and felt annoyed.

According to images captured by local media RMC Sport, the midfielder finished off the goal and as soon as he hit the ball he let out a cry of pain. The right leg, the affected one, was also taken, according to the medical report. The player remained on the grass, lamenting his luck, to be later sent into the concentration.

Later, the current world champion released a statement to confirm that Pogba was ruled out for the matches against Kazakhstan (Saturday 13) and Finland (Wednesday 17), corresponding to the Qualifiers towards the next World Cup. The medical report details that the midfielder suffered a quadriceps injury in his right thigh.

The ‘Les Bleus’ report did not indicate the time off for the 28-year-old footballer. However, the L’Equipe newspaper report notes that the Manchester United man will be out of the fields for two months. That is to say, the former Juventus, hopefully, can return to the ring starting in 2022.

The absence for eight weeks affected the team led by the coach Didier Deschamps, who still does not ensure a presence in Qatar 2022. To this date they arrive at the top with 12 points, followed by Ukraine -the direct rival- with nine units, then come Finland with eight, Bosnia and Herzegovina with seven and Kazakhstan with three, now without chances.

Pogba’s injury represents a hard blow and tremendous headache to the ‘Red Devils’. Currently, the English team is going through a crisis under the command of coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. With the Norwegian, United are in sixth place in the Premier League and last weekend they lost the derby against City.

Similarly, Manchester has yet to confirm their move to the next round of the Champions League, despite leading Group F with seven points. In that area, Villarreal also has seven and Atalanta appears with options and closes Young Boys with three. Without Pogba, the ‘Red Devils’ will play two more games in this instance for the ‘Orejona’.
