Les Blues coach Didier Deschamps is expected to name his 26-man roster for the 2022 Mundial on French national TV on Wednesday evening.

The reigning World Champions will begin their defence of their title on November 22 against Australia, before also playing Denmark and Tunisia in Group D.

Both Pogba and his French partner-in-crime N'golo Kante, are reportedly set to miss out on the World Cup through injuries, as Raphael Varane is also an injury doubt.

With Kante battling with hamstring problem, Pogba was having recurring knee problems before returning to light training with Juventus after having surgery in September.

But the ex-Manchester United midfielder has posted a video on his Instagram page in what looks like a clear message to Deschamps and his fans that he has recovered from his knee injury.

In the video, Pogba showcased the kind of movement that sees him accelerate past opponents with ease to set up attacking moves for club and country.

And he was spotted being cheered on by his wife and kids in his living room as he shows off one of his finest dance moves.

He captioned the video: “Family time, Knee test passed.”

Pogba injury setback

According to Football Italia, Pogba sustained a muscular injury in training, a setback which may rule him out of the upcoming World Cup in Qatar.

Pogba is yet to make a competitive start for Juventus after his return to Turin from Manchester United this past summer.

The midfielder tried conservative therapy after he tore his meniscus in the preseason with Juventus, but it didn't work, leaving him with only one option, surgery.

Allegri on Pogba's World Cup hopes

Sports Brief earlier reported that Juventus manager Max Allegri has blamed Paul Pogba for his inability to take part in the 2022 edition of the World Cup in Qatar.

Pogba will not be part of France's squad, which will be out to defend the crown they won in 2018 in Russia.

The former Manchester United midfielder was ruled out of the competition after suffering from a fresh thigh problem, that will keep him on the sidelines for another three weeks.
