Paul Pogbamidfielder of Juventus, will be unavailable for two to three weeks after renewing his left thigh injury on Sunday night, the Turin club learned on Monday. Tests carried out on Monday morning at the club’s medical center “showed an injury” to the “rectus femoris muscle of the left thigh,” Juve reported on their website.
This type of injury usually requires a recovery period of around “15/20 days,” a club source told AFP. Knowing that Italy’s season ends on June 4, the 2018 world champion has almost no chance of ever playing for Juve again. He will not, then, this Thursday against Sevilla. On the other hand, perhaps, in theory, it could be brought back for the Blues’ next meeting scheduled for June (against Gibraltar on the 16th and then Greece on the 19th, in qualifying for the Euro- 2024).
The 2018 world champion missed his first start in more than a year for a long time, picking up a new injury and being substituted after just 23 minutes in Sunday night’s game against Cremonese. After one hit he stopped immediately and then left the field with tears in his eyes.
Injury ordeal for the French international
Pogba, who returned to Juve last summer after six years at Manchester United, suffered a real test with a right knee injury in July, which required surgery in early September and deprived him of 2022 World Cup.
Unavailable until February, he was again sidelined for a month in March following a right thigh injury. It finally found some consistency from mid-April to this new recession. His season so far has been limited to ten appearances, for a maximum of 25 minutes.
