Pogba Reveals Plans After Four-Year Ban

Pogba Reveals Plans After Four-Year Ban

Paul Pogba has confirmed his career plans amid his four-year ban from football.

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has broken his silence on his career plans after being slapped with a four-year football ban earlier this year.

In March, it was confirmed by Italian authorities that the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner would be banned from the sport for four years after testing positive for a banned substance.

The 31-year-old remains on Juventus' books, although his contract at the Serie A giants will have expired by the time he is cleared to return to action.

Pogba, however, has insisted he does not consider his career finished, and is looking forward to playing again.

"If you don't see a video where I say that I am stopping with football, it's because I am still a football player," he told Sky Sport Italia after attending France's 1-0 win over Belgium in their 2024 UEFA European Championship round of 16 clash.

"I am still here, still positive, I have an opportunity to fight what in my view is an injustice. We'll see, things will go better.

"I don't know if you saw the whole interview, but they only put up a part of it where I hadn't even finished speaking yet. I never said Pogba no longer exists. Pogba is here. Until you see me say I have stopped…

"I still feel like a player, I am training, and in these moments I must only be positive. I am spending a lot of time with my family, seeing my kids grow up. I am not doing what I love, which is football, but I am really eager to get back.

"I am so eager, I feel like a kid who wants to be a professional."
