Juventus have reportedly made a big call on Paul Pogba after he was recently suspended for failing a drug test.

The 30-year-old has been provisionally suspended by Italy's Anti-Doping Court since Monday, after testosterone was found in his system during a routine drug test last month.
Rumours suggested that the midfielder would have three days to provide an alternative result and that he could be facing a four-year ban should he admit to doping intentionally.
According to a new report from La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Bianconeri have already frozen his salary as they await the outcome of the counter-analysis.
Due to his suspension, Pogba will not be able to train with his teammates, with it claimed that rules in Italy allow clubs to stop paying a player who has failed a drug test.
However, La Repubblica claims that suspended players must receive a minimum annual wage of around €42 000 (R847 000).
Outlets in Italy earlier this week suggested that the Old Lady could consider terminating his contract if he is found guilty and handed a lengthy ban by the relevant authorities.
More information is expected on Thursday and Friday as the story continues to unfold, a situation that has compounded the misery Pogba has endured since returning to Italy.
