French
international football star Paul Pogba recently made his first appearance this
season for Juventus, but after playing just 20 minutes, he was forced off due
to sustaining an injury.
This latest
setback must surely mean that Paul Pgba’s career at the top of men’s
professional football is over.
What happened to Paul Pogba?
Paul Pogba joined Italian Serie A side Juventus in last year’s summer transfer window after leaving English Premier League side Manchester United where he had spent six years.
He was unable to
get fit in time for the start of the new Serie A season and has taken longer
than expected to get over several injuries.
In his first
game back in what was also his first start in 390 games, he lasted just over 20
minutes, picking up another injury that saw him leave the pitch devasted and in
floods of tears.
Most people
agree that Paul Pogba’s career at the top is now surely over. The last time he
made it into the starting 11 was when he played for Manchester United in April
2022 against Liverpool.
In his latest
outing, he attempted to gain control of the ball, which saw him overstretch and
injure his thigh muscle, which meant he could no longer continue. He slowly
hobbled off the pitch.
Is it still possible to bet on Juventus or any other
Serie A games?
Yes. There is
still time to bet on Serie A games, but time is fast running out. Most teams
only have two or three games until the end of the 2022/23 campaign.
