  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Pogba is being prevented from doing his day job at present as he serves a suspension from all football-related activity. That sanction had initially been set at four years, leading to questions of the 31-year-old’s future, but has been reduced to 18 months following an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  As things stand, Pogba will be free to resume his professional career from March 2025. It has been suggested, by the BBC, that the France international midfielder will be allowed to start training again in January.

• THE GOSSIP

  For now, he is focused on other activities. It was reported back in May that Pogba was dipping his toe into the world of acting. Having been spotted filming scenes in a suburb of Paris, a crew member said: “He amazed everyone with his naturalness and simplicity. He visibly appreciated the experience.”

• WHAT POGBA SAID

  Pogba has now made his bow on the big screen official, with the Frenchman gracing the red carpet at Pathe Palace in Paris alongside his wife Zulay. He has posted on Instagram: “Super happy to appear in the movie 4 Zeros.”
