France coach Didier Deschamps is determined to take Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba to the World Cup.

After undergoing knee surgery last week, Pogba is fighting to recover in time for November's World Cup in Qatar.

Deschamps, however, is ready to do everything he can to have Pogba part of his squad.

L'Equipe says Deschamps is rethinking plans not to take up FIFA's permitted 26 player limit for the tournament.

He is now willing to take up the extended squad numbers in order to give Pogba every chance possible of taking part.
