World Cup exclusion for Paul Pogba, according to agent

According to his agency, Paul Pogba will miss France’s World Cup defense because he needs more time to heal from knee surgery.

Rafaela Pimenta stated in a statement, “It is incredibly difficult to inform Paul Pogba will still need recuperation time from his surgery following yesterday and today’s medical reviews in Torino and Pittsburgh.

Paul won’t be allowed to join Juventus’ squad prior to the World Cup break or the French National Team in Qatar because of this.

The 29-year-old midfielder playing for Juve prior to the World Cup is “extremely doubtful,” according to Massimiliano Allegri, the team’s coach, who made that statement on Friday.

Earlier on Monday, the Italian media stated that Pogba’s thigh injury might keep him out for almost 15 days.

Since rejoining Juventus from Manchester United in the summer, Pogba hasn’t played for the team because he injured his right knee’s meniscus in July.

He initially decided against having surgery in an effort to participate in the Qatar competition, which begins on November 20.

Pogba altered his mind and decided to have surgery after returning to training at the beginning of last month, which kept him out of action until he started working out with Juve again two weeks ago.
