Agent of Juventus midfielder Pogba: We're working on an appeal

The agent of Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba says she'll be standing by him.

Pogba is facing a lengthy doping ban after his failed test was confirmed on appeal.

Agent and lawyer Rafaela Pimenta told the Guardian: “We are working on an appeal, but, as a lawyer, I am the first to believe that if something needs to be discussed at a legal level, it should stay there.

"But I always have hope. I will always be there for Paul. He is part of my life and I am grateful for the way he treated me and he always respected us.

"He is a great person who has evolved a lot because I knew him when he was a child. He is now a father and has three children."
