The pitches are getting a little further away for Paul Pogba. Injured for a long time last season, the 30-year-old player has barely returned to the Serie A pitches, after his hamstring discomfort, the latest injury to date. The Turin player had played around twenty minutes twice at the start of the season with Juve.
