Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has been left out of the France squad for its upcoming UEFA Nations League matches after testing positive for COVID-19, manager Didier Deschamps said on Thursday.
Rennes midfielder Eduardo Camavinga was called up as a late replacement for Manchester United's Pogba.
“I had to make a last-minute change to this list because Paul Pogba was planned to be in this list,” Deschamps told reporters.
“But unfortunately for him, he took a test (for COVID-19) yesterday which turned out to be positive today, so at the last minute he was replaced by Eduardo Camavinga.”
France is set to visit Sweden on September 5 and hosts Croatia three days later.
