Paul Pogba accepts that Juventus had little option but to suspend him, but claims a 'misunderstanding' led to action being taken.

Squad

Pogba is looking to put the incident behind him and focus on an outing for France's U20 side, with calls for him to be fast-tracked into the senior set-up put to the back of his mind. "I was surprised by calls in the Italian press for me to be included in the French squad," he added. "But I am not thinking about that. Didier Deschamps has said that I have steps to go through. "I am at a great club and will go on improving. Then, when the time is right, we will see. The French team is a target for me, but I am not thinking about it at the moment."
