(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Jang Bo-in = French national football team midfielder Paul Pogba (29, Juventus), who suffered a knee injury, eventually opted for surgery.
As a result, participation in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, which begins in November, has become uncertain.
Italian professional soccer team Juventus announced on the club’s website on the 5th (local time) that “Pogba underwent meniscal cartilage resection this evening, and the operation was successful.”
Sky Sports Italy’s version predicted that Pogba would be absent for regarding eight weeks.
Pogba, who joined Juventus as a free agent from Manchester United (England) in July, has yet to play this season.
He was withdrawn from the squad due to a ruptured meniscus cartilage in his right knee during Juventus’ pre-season tour.
He tried to manage his injury with rehabilitation treatment to participate in the World Cup in Qatar, but as he climbed to the operating table, a question mark was placed on the possibility of challenging the World Cup.
France will play the first leg of the World Cup group stage once morest Australia on November 22, Qatar local time.
Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri said: “In the morning Pogba stopped training for a second time and decided to have surgery.
Italy’s Serie A will be temporarily suspended due to the World Cup schedule following November 13, and Pogba might join the team in January next year, when the league resumes.
When asked if Pogba might go to the World Cup, Allegri did not confirm, saying, “The World Cup is not my problem. The problem with Juventus is that he will return in January.”
