The news came from Didier Deschamps himself. When announcing the list of players selected for the matches against Sweden and Croatia in early September, the coach of the France team announced in the preamble that Paul Pogba had tested positive for Covid-19 and that 'so he couldn't be there.

“Unfortunately he tested yesterday [Thursday] which turned out positive this morning,” said DD, who had planned to call the Manchester United midfielder. So, at the last minute, he decided to replace Pogba with Eduardo Camavinga. A great first for the 17-year-old Rennais.
