Paul Pogba is absent from Juventus Turin’s squad for the Europa League game against Freiburg after arriving late to a rally.
35 minutes. This is Paul Pogba’s playing time this season with Juventus Turin. Knee operated in September, the Frenchman had not been able to play the World Cup with the Blues, nor play a single minute with his club. The midfielder made his return at the end of February, with 23 minutes against Torino and 15 minutes against Roma. Engaged in the Europa League against Friborg this Thursday evening (9 p.m.), Juventus did not retain “La Pioche” for “disciplinary reasons”. Paul Pogba, who could have chained the meetings, arrived late at the rally on Wednesday evening according to the club.
The star of the Blues, back on the pitch last week for the first time since a knee injury in July, is the big absentee from the list of summons revealed by Juventus on its site. This non-convocation is not linked to a new physical glitch but has a “disciplinary reason”, an internal source at the club told AFP. Pogba arrived late on Wednesday evening for the team gathering organized to prepare for the match against Freiburg in the round of 16 first leg of the Europa League, the source continued, confirming information from several Italian media.
