Ex-Juventus star Paul Pogba has revealed that he will continue to fight and will return to football soon.

Pogba, who is serving a four-year ban from world football for a doping offence, was in attendance as France defeated Belgium 1-0 in the knockout round of EURO 2024.

The 31-year-old has had a difficult past 12 months and has not played football since August 2023.

He is preparing his hearing in front of the Court of Arbitration for Sport where he hopes his ban will be reduced.

"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," he told Sky Sport.

"I'm not finished. I'm training hard! I'm still 100% footballer and I can't wait to return on the pitch".

Pogba was one of the best players as France won the World Cup in 2018.
