Paris: France coach Didier Deschamps on Monday welcomed the news that there was light at the end of the tunnel for midfielder Paul Pogba after a doping ban.
On Friday, French international Pogba learned that his four-year ban for doping had been reduced to 18 months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
"There is this light that turns on again," said Deschamps on the French Football Federation (FFF) website.
"He will have stages to go through but it is excellent news. He will be able to play again from March."
The 91-times capped World Cup winner tested positive for testosterone in August 2023 after a match between Juventus and Udinese in Italy.
