Three months after undergoing knee surgery, Juventus star Paul Pogba is still unclear as to whether he is ready to return to action as he now faces a lengthy injury lay-off, reports say.
The 29-year-old Frenchman suffered a knee injury during pre-season training at the end of July for the Whites. He initially decided to treat the injury with a folk medicine plan, as he did not want to miss the World Cup due to surgery, but slow progress meant he underwent surgery in early September, requiring eight months to recover. week.
Unfortunately for Pogba and Juventus, his recovery is going slower than expected, as Calciomercato.com writes. The French midfielder has not yet returned to training and is only continuing them in the gym and pool, but he has to wait a little longer to start hitting the ball.
Pogba is therefore expected to be out for another month, at least, which means he will miss six of the Whites’ games in January, including the difficult clash with Napoli. It’s another blow for the 2018 World Cup winner, who was hoping to work hard to get back on the pitch sooner.
The condition of the 29-year-old will have consequences for the Old Lady in the market. With Pogba out, Massimiliano Allegri cannot afford to lose Adrien Rabiot in January, even if his contract expires. Fortunately for Juventus, the former Paris Saint-Germain player would happily play this season in Turin until the summer.
