A thigh injury, according to Italian media reports, has put Paul Pogba’s chances of competing in the 2019 World Cup in jeopardy once more.
With Juventus, for whom he has not yet played after suffering a knee injury in the summer, France’s great Pogba just resumed training.
The ailment, characterised by Italian media as muscle weariness that might keep Pogba out of play for 10 days, was not confirmed by Juve or Pogba’s representation, according to AFP.
Didier Deschamps will announce his team for the World Cup in Qatar on November 9, and Les Bleus’ first World Cup match is scheduled for November 22 against Australia.
The 29-year-old midfielder playing before Serie A’s break for the Qatar World Cup is “extremely doubtful,” according to Massimiliano Allegri, the coach of Juventus, who made that statement on Friday.
The final game for Juventus in 2022 is on November 13 against Lazio in Turin.
