Pogba hasn’t played for Juve since re-signing for them from Manchester United in the summer, hurting the meniscus in his right knee in July. Paul Pogba will miss France’s World Cup defence as he needs more time to recover from knee surgery, his agent announced on Monday. “Following yesterday and today’s medical review in Torino and Pittsburgh, it is extremely painful to inform Paul Pogba will still need recovery time from his surgery,” said Rafaela Pimenta in a statement. “For this reason, Paul will not be able to join Juventus’ squad before the World Cup break nor the French National Team in Qatar.” Juve coach Massimiliano Allegri had already said on Friday that it was “very unlikely” that the 29-year-old midfielder would play for his team before Serie A breaks up for the World Cup.
