Pogba injured AGAIN as World Cup winning midfielder faces three weeks out

Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba has suffered a major setback to his recovery process.

The 29-year-old France international is facing three to four weeks out after tweaking a muscle practicing free kicks.

"...Paul Pogba suffered a low-grade tear to his right thigh adductor," the Italian club said on its website.

Juventus adds: "He [Pogba] has already started with the rehabilitation process aimed at resuming competitive activity."

Pogba injury problems

Pogba sustained a knee injury in pre-season after his summer move from Manchester United on a free transfer. This was six years after leaving Juventus to re-sign for Manchester United for a world-record transfer fee.

Pogba made his second debut for Juventus on February 28 when he came off the bench in the 4-2 derby win against Torino. On February 5, Pogba then appeared off the bench again when Roma beat Juventus 1-0.

He was left out of Massimiliano Allegri's squad for the Europa League last-16 first leg tie against Freiburg after he turned up late to a team dinner.

On Sunday, March 12, Pogba was absent from the squad again when Juventus beat Sampdoria 4-2.
