Deschamps hopes injured Pogba can 'sort out all his problems' after France squad announcement

Christopher Nkunku and Ousmane Dembélé were recalled Wednesday to France's national team, as coach Didier Deschamps announced the squad for upcoming European Championship qualifiers against Gibraltar and Greece. France tops the Group B standings in qualifying after back-to-back wins against the Netherlands and Ireland. The two-time world champions take on Gibraltar in Portugal on June 16, then host Greece three days later at the Stade de France. Nkunku, who plays for RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga, has been sidelined for months due to a knee injury while Barcelona's Dembele missed a series of games due to a hamstring problem. Deschamps will be without the injured Paul Pogba and N'Golo Kanté, with William Saliba also missing because of a back injury.
