For the World Cup .. Pogba announces the good news
Media reports said, on Wednesday, that Paul Pogba has given up
the idea of undergoing knee surgery, and will rely on a rest and
rehabilitation program to keep his hopes of playing for France in
the 2022 World Cup.
The Juventus midfielder suffered a knee injury during a training
session with his new team late last month, during a foreign tour in
the United States.
In the event of surgery, Pogba will miss the World Cup finals in Qatar
from November 21 to December 18, so the player, who played 91 matches
with the France national team, preferred to undergo a treatment program, instead.
Italian media said that the treatment regimen would consist of three weeks
in the gym and swimming pool, after which he would train alone for two weeks.
If all goes well, Pogba will be back in time to be able to prepare for the World Cup,
as France begin their campaign against Australia in Doha on November 22.
The French sports newspaper, L’Equipe, said on Wednesday that Pogba’s
decision puts him in a confrontational situation with his new club,
which would have preferred the French player to undergo surgery,
and to be absent from the World Cup so that he could return quickly
in the second half of the season.
Pogba returned to Juventus after several turbulent seasons at Manchester United.
