France and Juventus FC midfielder Paul Pogba has declared that his football career is not finished yet and he can’t wait to return to the pitch despite a doping ban.
Pogba, who chatted with Sky Sports, said people should not believe rumours that he is retiring because he is ready to fight for his future.
The versatile player who operates primarily as a central midfielder, but can be deployed as a left winger, attacking midfielder, and defensive midfielder also noted that he is still 100% a footballer.
“I’m still a football player. Don’t look at that stuff saying I’m retiring, I’m finished… I wanna fight for my career, I’m optimistic”.
“I’m not finished. I’m training hard! I’m still a 100% footballer”.
“I can’t wait to return on the pitch,” Pogba told Sky Sports.
The 30-year-old soccer star received a severe penalty in March from the anti-doping prosecutor’s office in Italy after testing positive for testosterone following Juventus’s match against Udinese.
To get their client a lighter sentence, Pogba’s lawyers rejected a plea deal, claiming that their client had accidentally taken the substance that caused the positive test.
However, the prosecution rejected the defence presented by his attorneys, and as a result, he received a four-year ban that might end his career.
