Pogba has barely played for the Bianconeri in his second return from nagging injuries throughout the season. The Frenchman set up Federico Gatti for an injury-time equalizer against Sevilla in Thursday’s Europa League semi-final first leg, but just as hopes of a comeback were rekindled. , he suffered the pain again.
Pogba made his first start in more than a year when Juventus hosted Cremonese at the Allianz Stadium but left the field after just 24 minutes. The former MU player was extremely heartbroken and pulled his face mask to cover the tears that were rolling down his cheeks while his teammates tried their best to comfort.
Pogba returned to Juventus in the summer but had not played for Max Allegri’s side until February. The reason why the French player could not play was due to a meniscus tear in his knee before the season, which forced him to undergo surgery.
Since then, Pogba has struggled with muscle injuries, one of which was an injury to his lower back when taking free-kicks that left him with just nine appearances for the Turin side.
Pogba signed a four-year contract in July 2022 after his contract with Man United expired but sources from Gazzetta dello Sport claim Juventus are considering terminating his contract.
However, Juventus chief executive Francesco Calvo categorically denied the story: “We are not planning to terminate Pogba’s contract, I can deny these stories. He is an important player. For us, injuries are part of football, but Paul is training well and we are waiting for him.”
