Massimiliano Allegri admits that Juventus took “risks” on Paul Pogba’s fitness, with another injury setback suffered by the French midfielder.
- Frenchman out of action once more
- Suffered another muscle complaint
- May not be seen again this season
WHAT HAPPENED? The World Cup winner was included from the off against Cremonese on Sunday – with said outing representing his first start for club or country in 390 days. Pogba lasted just 23 minutes before picking up a muscle problem that forced him from the field in tears, with another spell on the sidelines set to be taken in by a player that has seen just 10 appearances since returning to Turin from Manchester United as a free agent in the summer of 2022.

WHAT NEXT? Pogba may not be seen again this season, with Juve having just three more Serie A fixtures left to take in alongside a possible shot at Europa League glory, with the 30-year-old having to focus on returning to full fitness in time for the 2023-24 campaign.
