The bad news about Paul Pogba being injured while undergoing a training session in Los Angeles seems to have been confirmed by Juventus.
Because many media have reported the bad news, based on the results of the examination Paul Pogba suffered an injury to the lateral meniscus.
Which Pogba had to undergo surgery to cure him and reportedly had to rest for approximately two months. Actually, since 2014 Pogba has had
a history of injuries, but the lateral meniscus injury is one of the first injuries to Pogba. Because previously Pogba had more often suffered from
ankle and hamstring injuries. This means Pogba will miss a few games in Serie A and this will be a big problem for Juventus, because Pogba is
considered a key player for Juventus today. I hope Pogba recovers faster, because Juventus need Pogba's presence to be able to compete to win
the Serie A trophy.
The latest result of Juventus vs Barcelona was ended with a draw 2-2. Pogba was not there obviously but I think Zakaria and Locatelly were playing really well today so I do not think the injury of Pogba will give too much impact. He has not proven himself that he is still a great player for Juventus as he has just came back to Juventus and I'm sure Allegri is having many alternative players for Pogba's position. Juventus is not a team that relying on a single player, they could still be on top 4 last season while they lost Chiesa for more than half of the season. Of course losing 1 main player for long time is not good for a long competition but I still believe that Juventus will be able to compete even there will be no Pogba.
The friendly match against Barcelona has opened my eyes, it turns out that without the presence of Pogba, Juventus are still playing quite well.
Even being able to draw against Barcelona who has a very good squad depth, that's a pretty good result for Juventus. I'm pretty sure Juventus
can still compete to win the Serie A trophy next season, but it would be even better if Juventus bought one more qualified and experienced defender,
I see the Juventus defense as one of Juventus weak points against Barcelona. For the Juventus midfield, it turned out to be playing quite well.
Especially if Rabiot and Pogba can play, it will make the Juventus midfield even more solid. For the striker position, it looks like Moise Kean can start
to be given more playing time, I'm sure Moise Kean can develop even better, especially at such a young age.
