Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba has given an update on his current situation after he was handed a four-year doping ban.
The French midfielder had tested positive for elevated levels of testosterone after the team's opening game of the 2023/24 season, although he was kept on the bench the entire game.
Pogba was initially suspended in September 2023 for failing the drug test but was later handed a four-year ban by an anti-doping prosecutor's office in Italy.

The 2018 FIFA World Cup winner, who has not featured since pre-season last year, admits it has not been easy not playing football.
"It's difficult to be totally honest," the Juventus midfielder told Forbes.
"Football has been part of my life for as long as I can remember.
"However, I have my family, my faith, my friends, and my fans who have supported me, which makes things easier. All will be well."
The former Manchester United star has added that he is focused on staying fit ahead of the appeal date.
"Although I can't speak so much about this, all roads lead to the appeal date,' he added.
"Until then, my focus is on staying fit and looking forward to the appeal."
