Real Madrid youngster set for FIFA World Cup call-up after Paul Pogba was ruled out of the tournament.
The participating nations will shortly announce their squads that they will go to Qatar for the quadrennial spectacle, with the FIFA World Cup only two weeks away.
current champions France will be one of the tournament favorites, but they will have to defend their championship with two of their key players.
Due to an injury that will keep him out of play until the new year, N’Golo Kante has already been ruled out of the World Cup. Paul Pogba, his partner in the middle, is now reportedly ruled out of the competition due to an injury.
Pogba hasn’t played a single game for club or country since leaving Manchester United for Juventus last summer, and his absence from action looks destined to continue now that his most recent injury has eliminated him from the World Cup.
Additionally, MARCA claims that Pogba’s absence will increase the likelihood that Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga will be called up to the France team for the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar.
Aurelien Tchouameni’s participation at the World Cup is a certain, but Camavinga cannot be guaranteed because Didier Deschamps, the manager of France, hasn’t always favored him.
However, with Kante and Pogba both out, the France head coach will be obliged to consider alternative players, thus enhancing Camavinga’s chances of being selected.
Although the 19-year-old midfielder hasn’t been a regular starter for Real Madrid, he has performed well when called upon to come off the bench. He has appeared in all 18 of Los Blancos’ games this season across all leagues.
The former wonderkid of Rennes, who has received four caps from France so far, may be in line to take center stage in the preparations for the World Cup for his country.
