France head coach Didier Deschamps says he is \u2018surprised\u2019 by Paul Pogba\u2019s failed drugs tests and is adamant that the midfielder would not knowingly take a banned substance.<\/p>\n

Manchester United news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n

Pogba is potentially facing a lengthy ban after testosterone was found in his system during a drugs test with Juventus last month.<\/p>\n

The former Manchester United midfielder has the opportunity to submit an appeal but could be suspended for up to four years if found guilty.<\/p>\n

Deschamps has worked extensively with Pogba during their time together in France\u2019s national team and has revealed that he has already reached out to the 30-year-old.<\/p>\n

\u2018Obviously I am very surprised but I have nothing to judge the matter on,\u2019 Deschamps told TF1.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2018He has a lot of things on his plate, it is a very difficult time. I will have time to speak to him in the next few days, I have already sent him a message.\u2019<\/p>\n

Asked if he believed Pogba would have knowingly taken a banned substance, Deschamps replied: \u2018I can\u2019t imagine it, knowing him he wouldn\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n

\u2018He has a strong head on his shoulders. I remember the discussions we had about the Covid vaccine.<\/p>\n

\u2018But the substance is in his body and we don\u2019t know how it got there.\u2019<\/p>\n

Bayern Munich and France winger Kingsley Coman also issued his support to Pogba.<\/p>\n

\u2018We all support Paul, he\u2019s a very close friend, he\u2019s part of the family,\u2019 Coman said.<\/p>\n

\u2018We don\u2019t really know more, we\u2019ll have to look. But we know Paul, we knows that if something happened, it was surely unconsciously, without intention. We are with him wholeheartedly.\u2019<\/p>\n
