Serie A: no operation for Pogba, who should only be absent for 5 weeks

There will be no prolonged shutdown of several months, nor meniscus surgery for Paul Pogba.

The French international should return to the pitch with Juventus in five weeks, after conservative therapy.

A choice that the player made after a medical consultation, this very Tuesday in Lyon, with Professor Bertrand Sonnery-Cotter.

A choice that risks raising questions because if it saves him a long stop far from the field, and therefore keeps his chances of participating in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar intact, this in no way guarantees him a total resolution of the problem.

Paul Pogba will spend the first three weeks in the gym, swimming pool and physiotherapy, then the last two on the pitch to carry out differentiated athletic work.

And if everything goes as planned without complications, he should be available to Max Allegri in just over a month, for the game against Salernitana scheduled for the weekend of September 10-11.
