Paul Pogba 'out for eight to ten weeks' after Man United star suffers a thigh injury

Paul Pogba will reportedly be sidelined until the New Year after the Manchester United star withdrew from the France squad due to a thigh injury sustained while away with Les Bleus.

The midfielder has missed Manchester United's last two Premier League matches due to suspension and on Tuesday, France confirmed he will miss both of their upcoming World Cup qualifiers due to a muscular problem.

Pogba pulled up during a one-on-one shooting drill with the national side at their Clairefontaine training base on Monday.
