France coach Didier Deschamps has warned Paul Pogba that he must be fully fit and in top form if he is to be selected for the French World Cup squad.
Pogba has been ruled out for almost two months after undergoing surgery on his right knee last week.
The surgeon who performed Pogba's operation reportedly revealed that he and the Juventus doctors had agreed a 'necessary' recovery time of eight weeks before the Frenchman can return to first-team training.
France kick off their World Cup campaign on November 22 against Australia and Pogba faces a race against time to be fit.
