After the knee, Paul Pogba suffers from the thigh according to the Italian press

Unreassuring news for Paul Pogba. The midfielder’s participation in the World Cup is increasingly compromised according to Italian media which reported on Monday that the French international is suffering from muscle fatigue in one thigh, an additional concern after his right knee surgery.

Neither the club nor the player’s agents responded to requests for confirmation from AFP concerning this physical glitch, described in the Italian media as muscle fatigue, which could keep him away from the field for ten days.

“In deficit compared to the others”

The 2018 world champion recently returned to training with his club Juventus Turin following surgery on his right knee in early September. On Friday, Juve coach Massimiliano Allegri, however, considered that it was “unlikely” that the 29-year-old midfielder would play a match in the Italian championship again before the truce decided for the World Cup.

The coach of the Blues, Didier Deschamps, must announce the list of players selected for the competition on November 9. He declared on Tuesday that the “door remains open” for the multiple injured team executives, in particular Paul Pogba or Raphaël Varane, hoping that the midfielder can have playing time before the competition “because he is in deficit compared to the others “. The Blues’ first match at the World Cup in Qatar will take place on November 22 against Australia.
