Paul Pogba was supposed to be the best midfielder in the world. It was 2016 and the French midfielder was the subject of a €105 million bid that Manchester United submitted to Juventus to make him the most expensive player in the history of the sport.
He returned just four years after leaving Manchester United on a free transfer in 2012. It was his comeback, and the beginning did bring some hope. In 2018, Pogba showed his class to all football fans when he won France the World Cup with his performances. However, it never really worked out with Manchester United.

The midfielder is now playing for Juventus again and joined the club on a free transfer two weeks ago. However, things have gone horribly wrong for the troubled midfielder as he suffered a torn meniscus while training with the rest of the team.
Pogba immediately limped off, and fans feared the worst. Juventus released a club statement and revealed that Pogba will undergo more tests and the true extent of his injury will only be known after some time.

What does this mean for Paul Pogba?
The World Cup in Qatar is just four months away with the competition being held in the months of November and December. A torn meniscus can take more than three months to heal completely, which would give Pogba just one month to find a place in France’s World Cup squad.
