Paul Pogba has been ruled out of the upcoming World Cup due to a series of injury setbacks, according to his agent.

The 29-year-old France star, who was an integral part of the World Cup-winning side in 2018, has struggled through a host of injuries over the last year. After initially opting out of meniscus surgery, Pogba went under the knife in September in the hopes of being ready for the World Cup.

But after another setback, Pogba, who hasn’t played for Juventus since arriving this summer from Manchester United, will not be a part of France’s title defense.
