Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has tested positive for coronavirus, says France manager Didier Deschamps.
The 27-year-old will have to self-isolate for 14 days.
However, Pogba could be eligible for selection for United’s Premier League opener against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford on 19 September.
His club said: “Everybody at United wishes Paul a speedy recovery ahead of the new season.”
Pogba will be replaced in the France squad by 17-year-old Rennes midfielder Eduardo Camavinga.
“I’ve completed, at the very last minute, a change in the list,” Deschamps said on Thursday.
“Paul Pogba, who was previously on the list, unfortunately for him he carried out a test yesterday which was returned as positive this morning.”
