The verdict is known for Paul Pogba. Operated on his right knee on Monday, the French midfielder from Juventus Turin will not be able to resume collective training before “eight weeks“, announced the surgeon who operated on him, Wednesday, September 7.
“In agreement with the Juventus doctors, we have indicated a necessary time of eight weeks so that Pogba can rejoin the team and resume collective training. This is the estimated time, then you have to assess the conditions and the reactions when it starts to force” explained Professor Roberto Rossi, chief physician at the Mauriziano Hospital in Turin, in an interview with Tuttosport. Injured during a friendly match on July 25, the 2018 world champion first ruled out the idea of surgery, before a worsening of his injury forced him to do so.
Back in Italy after six seasons at Manchester United, Paul Pogba hoped to find his best level, with a view to the World Cup in Qatar (from November 20 to December 18, 2022). While the coach of Bianconeri, Massimiliano Allegri, expects a return from Pogba for January 2023, a real time trial will start by the World Cup. The Blues will play their first match against Australia on November 22, while Paul Pogba will theoretically have returned to training around November 1.
