Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba says his "nightmare is over" after a four-year ban for a doping offence was reduced to 18 months following a successful appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas).

Sources close to the 31-year-old told BBC Sport he can resume training in January 2025 and will be eligible to play again from March.

Pogba was suspended by Italy's national anti-doping tribunal (Nado) in February after a drug test found elevated levels of testosterone - a hormone that increases endurance - in his system.

Cas Director General Matthieu Reeb confirmed to Reuters the ban had been reduced to 18 months.
