Paul Pogba could still make the World Cup

Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba could still make the France squad for the Qatar 2022 World after he underwent surgery for a knee problem.

The former Manchester United man suffered the issue in pre-season with Juventus and wasted a month when he opted not to undergo surgery.

The alternative treatment method he chose worsened the injury, but it has been operated on now and he is expected to be out for around two months.

If everything goes to plan, he will be back around 10 days before the World Cup begins. He would not have played enough club matches before then.

However, he is one of the important players at his national team and his manager, Didier Deschamp will pick him for the competition, Matchplug understands.

This is because he is considered for the core members of the squad and an important inspirational leader.

Neymar Frustrated by Mbappe

Neymar and Kylian Mbappe have been seen as very close teammates before now and the Duo seem to have hit it off in their relationship a long time ago.

However, after the Frenchman signed a new big-money deal in the summer, things seem to have changed and they recently argued over who should take a spot-kick.

Neymar won that argument, but that was the clearest show that their relationship is no longer as sweet as it was before now.

Matchplug understands that the Brazilian is still very frustrated by his World Cup-winner teammate and he believes the Frenchman is selfish and that is the cause of their current problems.

Mbappe has grown from the youngster he was when he first moved to PSG and he is now one of the best players in the world.

He would look to ensure his teammates know that it is his time to become a global superstar.

Bayern Munich vs Barcelona Match Preview

Bayern Munich will host Barcelona in this top match between two of Europe’s finest clubs as they look to earn the early bragging rights in the group.

Barca has been resurgent this season, thanks to the signing of Robert Lewandowski from the Bavarians and the Polish striker will return to his old stomping ground in this game.

Bayern added Sadio Mane and Matthijs de Ligt to their squad in the summer, among other players and they have started life well.

However, they head into this fixture with just two wins from their last five matches and their 2-2 draw against Stuttgart at the weekend was a poor showing from them.

Barca, on the other hand, has been in fine form and has won all their last five matches in all competitions.

Interestingly, they have conceded just once in those fixtures and this game offers them a chance to keep a fine record going.

Xavi Hernandez’s team is getting into shape, but beating Bayern would be tough and they will be keen to achieve that to show their recent run of form isn’t a fluke.

Liverpool vs Ajax Match Preview

Out-of-form Liverpool will look to get over their dismal 4-1 loss at Napoli in their first Champions League game of the season.

The Reds have had a poor start to this season, but the defeat in Naples has been their worst performance in a very long time.

Jurgen Klopp insists it was their worst showing since he became the club’s manager and it is very hard to argue with that.

Considering they have lost their opening game in the competition, The Reds are playing catch-up now and Ajax will be keen to pile more misery on them.

The Dutchmen beat Rangers 4-0 in their opening UCL game of the season and they would want to beat another British team.

However, Liverpool has only lost once to Dutch oppositions and that was as far back as 1966, and Ajax recently lost both legs in a UCL game against the Reds.

Liverpool needs their key men to get back to form, but their fans will be on their side on this European night.

The best match prediction of the day for this game is over 1.5 Goals. for similar predictions, click here.
