Juventus’ Paul Pogba has been injured again, this time in his right adductor muscle, the Italian club, for which the Frenchman has only played two games this season, said on Monday.
“Paul Pogba suffered a minor injury to his right thigh adductor and has already begun the rehabilitation process to resume competitive activity,” Juventus said in a statement.
Concerns about Pogba’s fitness were raised on Sunday when he was left out of the squad against Sampdoria due to “muscle issues” despite coach Massimiliano Allegri saying before the game that the Frenchman was 100% fit.
The 29-year-old Pogba’s absence will last through March, according to local media.
The return of Paul Pogba to the “perpetual signora” is far from welcome, as the Frenchman missed 34 of the 37 games played, only came off the bench in two, and did not come off the bench in one.
The former Manchester United player injured his right meniscus during pre-season and decided to undergo conservative therapy in order to have a better chance at the World Cup in Qatar.
After seeing that conservative therapy was not working, the Frenchman decided to have surgery in early September, with almost no time for the World Championships, which he ended up losing due to muscle overload in his right leg when he shortened the time, and this definitely held him back. away from Qatar.
Since then, recovery and new inconveniences have delayed his return to the Juventus team he represented between 2012 and 2016, which finally happened on 28 February.
