Torino president Urbano Cairo has predicted that Paul Pogba will miss this year’s World Cup due to his latest injury.
The midfielder returned to Juve in the last transfer window and the Bianconeri hope he will help them improve this season.
The World Cup winner had a successful spell at the club early in his career, so Juve fans are excited to have him back in their squad.
However, he was injured in pre-season and has so far not made a competitive appearance for them.
Initially, he did not want to have surgery for his meniscus problem, but changed his mind after alternative therapy did not give him the desired result.
The midfielder has finally undergone surgery and it is not yet clear how long he will be out of action, but Cairo believes his World Cup dream is gone.
He said, as quoted by Tuttomercatoweb:
“It’s a shame he got injured, at this point I think he’ll miss the World Cup too. I put mine in his mouth.”
Juve FC says
That Pogba plays in the World Cup is none of our business and should not be so important again.
She’s already won the competition and Les Bleus might have a hard time keeping her even if she returns to full fitness and joins their team.
