Paul Pogba return date revealed as Juventus boss explains latest injury setback

Paul Pogba is set to miss a further three weeks through injury with a muscle problem picked up while taking free-kicks in Juventus training.

The former Manchester United player was absent from the Juventus matchday squad for their 4-2 win over Sampdoria on Sunday because of the issue. Pogba had previously missed the midweek Europa League match against Freiburg for disciplinary reasons after arriving late to a pre-match team dinner.

A three-week timeline, as reported by The Athletic, would see Pogba miss the second leg in Freiburg and the Derby d'Italia with Inter Milan immediately before the international break. The France international will also miss European Championship qualifiers against the Netherlands and the Republic of Ireland.
