Hot then cold.
Present at a press conference this Friday, on the eve of the match against Lecce, Juventus Turin coach Massimiliano Allegri gave some not very reassuring news from Paul Pogba, who had emergency surgery on the outer meniscus of his right knee on September 5. .
According to the transalpine technician, the midfielder of the France team will not play this Saturday, but not more against PSG on November 1 in the Champions League.
The probability of seeing him retained in the group against Inter on November 6, the last match of the Piedmontese before the list of Deschamps (November 9) is also almost nil.
“Tomorrow, no.
Impossible against PSG on Wednesday.
99% no against Inter.
If he can, he will be there against Verona and Lazio.
But it is difficult.
“says Allegri.
Echoing this, someone close to the Juventus board confides to us: "The percentage of chances of seeing him at the World Cup (Editor's note: November 20 - December 18) is decreasing".
If this pessimistic trend were to be confirmed, it would obviously be a new blow for the Blues already deprived of Ngolo Kanté.
He has not played since April 19
Uninviting news leaked this week from the Juventus Center.
Pogba, who had partially resumed collective training on October 18, does not yet seem ready to return to competition.
His last game now dates back to April 19, a sad epilogue to a last season already truncated by injuries with Manchester United.
And this date is not insignificant.
Asked by AFP, this Tuesday, October 25, about the former Mancunian, entangled at the same time in a sordid extra-sports affair, Didier Deschamps explained.
“The only thing that is certain is that I will not take a player who is not able to play at the start of the competition.
Then it's on a case-by-case basis.
For Paul (Editor's note: Pogba), that he has playing time before the competition, as much as possible, I say yes, because he is in deficit compared to the others.
".
The roadmap is clear.
And today, she seems quite compromised for Pogba.
