Paul Pogba Suffers Injury Setback After 390 Days in Juventus Debut Match.
French and Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba has suffered another injury setback as he was forced to leave the pitch during his first game in 390 days. The Italian side was facing Cremonese in a match when Pogba went down clutching his left thigh after a cross in the penalty area.
Medical staff provided him initial treatment on the field and Pogba eventually left the pitch in tears, according to reports. He was accompanied by Juventus medical personnel and will now face an anxious wait for the results of a medical scan to determine the extent of his injury.
This is not the first time Pogba has suffered from such injuries as he had already been hampered by an ankle injury earlier in the season. The French international has had a tumultuous time with injuries since signing for Juventus, missing several Champions League matches and several Serie A clashes due fitness concerns.
Pogba previously took in an 11-minute cameo appearance against Inter Milan earlier this month but was unable to fully convince that he was back at his best. His latest injury setback will come as a major blow to the club who have been relying on the midfield maestro to help propel their season.
Pogba is one of Juventus’ vital players and his injury could well be a huge loss for the team if it turns out to be serious enough. This news has sent shock waves through the footballing world and fans have been sending their messages of support for the French international. The outcome of his medical scan is yet to be determined and it remains to be seen how long will Pogba take to recover from this injury once again.
