Present in the group for the match against Monza on January 29, the French midfielder will not play this Thursday against Lazio Rome.


The tifosi had seen him on the bench this weekend.

However, they will not see him on the lawn on Thursday.

Embarrassed in the thigh, Paul Pogba is forfeited for the Italian Cup quarter-final against Lazio.

Present in the group for the first time this season on Sunday in the defeat against Monza (2-0), the French international had not come into play. Since his return to Juventus this summer, the 29-year-old midfielder has still not worn the Turin colors in official competition.

After a right knee operation in September, Pogba this time feels "pain in the flexor muscles", said Massimiliano Allegri at a press conference.

“Unfortunately, when a player has been without activity for months, pain appears when the intensity of training increases,” added the Italian coach.

The return of the former Manchester United player, who has not played since April 2022, was scheduled for Sunday or this week.

Allegri, however, did not advance on the subject of the presence or not of his player during the trip to the field of the Salternitana on February 7.

"Your knee has to readjust, you have to navigate on sight in this type of situation, no one works miracles," he said.

Last Thursday, the technical midfielder took part in a friendly match against the U 23 of Juventus Turin.

He had played 50 minutes, taking advantage of this playing time to deliver an assist to Dusan Vlahovic, another regular in the Piedmontese infirmary.
