Pogba was seen leaving Monday’s training session with team doctor Frank Le Gall.

“Pogba is forced to withdraw from France’s next two games at the Parc des Princes against Kazakhstan and against Finland in Helsinki,” a statement from the French football federations read.

He is being replaced in the squad by AS Roma’s Jordan Veretout.

According to France coach Didier Deschamps he said, Pogba was happy as he joined up with his international team-mates prior to his injury.

France are top of their qualifying Group D with 12 points from six games and victory against Kazakhstan will secure them a place in the next year’s World Cup finals.

Deschamps warned against complacency as the world champions take on a side who have not won any of their seven group games.

France are also set to travel to Finland next Tuesday.
