France coach Didier Deschamps admits it's sad to see Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba fighting for his career.

Pogba is facing a four-year ban after failing a doping test.

Deschamps said: “(Max) Allegri is particularly sad for Paul, as am I too, a lot of things have fallen on his head lately. He finds himself in a complicated situation. He will defend himself. He will have to defend himself, this does part of a long procedure.

“It all started with the doping test. I don't know what tomorrow holds for him, but what's happening to him is sad for him.

“I'll not have a categorical or radical position. I don't know what his future will be like, it will take time. Even if he hasn't been with us for a while.

“I hope for him that he finds his smile again, the full possession of his means, that he will find the pitch again, but it will take time."
