Many were thrilled when Paul Pogba decided to come back to Juventus as a free agent in 2022 summer transfer window. Half a year later, the excitement is gone. The French midfielder was injured and due to a wrong choice of treatment, postponed his full recovery until February 2023. So far he only played twice, as a substitute against Torino and Roma and on top of that, he allowed himself to be late to a training. The latest Gazzetta Dello Sport report claims Pogba arrived late on Wednesday after disappointing performances in training in the previous few days. Coach Massimiliano Allegri banished him from the team for the Freiburg game in Europa League.February 28: Paul Pogba makes his long-awaited Juventus returnMarch 9: Dropped by Juve for their Europa League game due to disciplinary reasons, per multiple reports😑 pic.twitter.com/K1CLJGvigO— B/R Football (@brfootball) March 9, 2023 After a 1-0 win, the coach was asked about Pogba and he joked.“I think Pogba arrived on time tonight, so he will be available from tomorrow”.If you thought Pogba had changed – you were wrongBut, Gazzeta confirmed Juventus directors are unhappy with Pogba although it is still too early to know whether this would jeopardise his future in Turin.
