Pogba risks World Cup break

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Pogba has a right knee cartilage injury during an Juventus training session. The Italian team has not said the time needed to recover.

Without surgery, the 29 -year -old midfielder took about two months to play again. However, this option can lead to future problems. Center -back Samuel Umtiti - Pogba's teammate when France won the 2018 World Cup - has chosen the same option and is becoming a problem at Barca.

If the surgical option is selected, Pogba can solve the problem. However, Juventus's No. 10 shirt will have to be away from the pitch for four months and miss the opportunity to attend the World Cup - start in Qatar from November 21.

Pogba has just returned to Juventus on a free transfer. The old contract with Man Utd expired and the 29 -year -old midfielder did not agree to sign further. Previously, Pogba wore Juventus for the period 2012-2016 and Man Utd period 2016-2022.

In 2018, Pogba is the pillar to help France win the World Cup. In the final of Croatia 4-2, he himself contributed to raise the score to 3-1 as a turning point. The remaining French tables belong to Mandzukic's own goal, Griezmann's penalty and Mbappe's long shot.

Pogba played 91 matches and scored 11 goals for France. In addition to winning the 2018 World Cup, he also helped the team win the Nations League 2021 and reached the Euro 2016 final.

At the 2022 World Cup, France is in Group D, will match Australia on November 22, Denmark on November 26 and Tunisia on November 30.
