Paul Pogba's four-year doping ban has reportedly been slashed to 18 months, paving the way for his return to football next year.
The former Manchester United midfielder was initially handed a four-year suspension in 2023 after a drug test revealed elevated testosterone levels in his system.
Pogba vehemently denied any wrongdoing and vowed to appeal the decision at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

Pogba remains contracted to Juventus until 2026, having signed a 4-year deal with the Italian giants after leaving Manchester United in 2022.
Pogba will now return to training as he hopes to play some part in Juventus' season, or perhaps seal a move elsewhere.
