Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has stated that he does not know as to when midfielder Paul Pogba could be fit to make his debut for the Bianconeri.
Pogba had picked a knee injury during pre-season and had refused to undergo surgery, opting for conservative therapy. But he later had to undergo surgery and miss the World Cup. He was on theย bench in a recent game against Monza, but he picked up a minor muscle issue and remains out.
Ahead of Juveโs upcoming and important game against Fiorentina, Allegri was asked about the situation of the midfielder and the manager didnโt sound too upbeat about when the player could return and make his Serie A debut.
Allegri stated: โPogba canโt be called up, heโs in the pits right now. Heโs not there, Iโm sorry to say it but itโs the reality. Heโs working to get back available, right now I canโt say when heโll be back. Maybe in 20 days, I wonโt know.โ
Reports have stated that Juve are frustrated with the fact that Pogba had refused surgery after his initial injury even though the club had recommended surgery, when the player opted for therapy. He had featured in a pre-season friendly in the United States but hasnโt been fit since then.
