Unfortunately, Paul suffered a right thigh injury while taking part in a training session on Monday.
The French Football Federation has confirmed that Pogba will miss both of the country’s upcoming games in this November international break.

The France team tweeted: “Paul Pogba has suffered an injury to the quadriceps of the right thigh and is forced to miss the next two matches.
“To replace him, Didier Deschamps called on Jordan Veretout.”
France need just three points to secure World Cup qualification, and will be seeking victory against Kazakhstan to complete that.
United confirmed: “Paul Pogba has been released from the French national team following a thigh muscle injury sustained in training. He will return to Manchester for treatment and further evaluation.”
The midfielder is still to serve the final part of his domestic three-game suspension, a result of a red card against Liverpool in October. He was, therefore, already unavailable for selection for our next Premier League match against Watford on 20 November.
Pogba would be eligible to play in the month’s other fixtures against Villarreal (23 November) and Chelsea (28 November).
