The French midfielder is yet to make his second debut for Juve after his summer move from Man Utd.

Paul Pogba will stay sidelined for around 20 more days, according to Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri. 

 After suffering an injury in the pre-season, Pogba has suffered a number of injury relapses. As a result, the former Manchester United star missed out on the World Cup while failing to make his second debut for the Serie A giants.

Earlier in February, reports emerged of Pogba’s imminent return to action. However, a new injury setback has delayed the 29-year-old’s return once again.

“Pogba cannot be called up. At the moment, he is in the pit,” Allegri said ahead of his side’s upcoming match against Fiorentina.

“It’s not a new injury he’s picked up, but a case of finding his feet and fitness again. He’s working hard to get to the point where he’s ready to play.

“He is working to be available again. At this moment, I cannot tell you when he will return. Maybe in 20 days, I don’t know.

“A normal path, coming from [this sort of injury], is very boring because, until the knee settles, it bothers every now and then. He is working, and he is putting all the effort possible. But at the moment, he is not available.”
