The horizon is clearing a bit for Paul Pogba.
Hit in the right thigh on Saturday against Everton in the Premier League (3-3), the Manchester United midfielder should, according to our information, be absent for an estimated period of about three weeks.
The world champion had an MRI on Monday.
This was rather reassuring.
He must do a CT scan in a week to better judge the progress of his injury.
“He's just started his recovery and is working with the medical staff.
We will get him back as soon as possible, his trainer, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, explained on Monday on the club's website.
Of course, Paul was very important to us and we will not take any chances with him.

Available with the Blues in March
The former Juventus Turin player will therefore not be reinstated for the round of 16 first leg of the Europa League against Real Sociedad on February 18.
He will also miss the second leg on February 25.
On the other hand, he will be available for the next gathering of the Blues, at the end of March, with three matches of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers on the program against Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Bosnia, on March 24, 28 and 31.
Long handicapped by injuries during the previous exercise, Pogba, who had an ankle surgery in January 2020, had regained from the grounds and form with Manchester.
In 28 games in all competitions this season, he has scored 4 goals and delivered 3 assists.
