Juventus boss Max Allegri confirms Paul Pogba is ready to make long-awaited return from injury

Paul Pogba has recovered from injury and is available for selection, according to Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri.

Paul Pogba’s stint at Juventus has been marred by injuries, limiting his appearances for the club. Since joining Juventus in 2022, he has only played in 10 matches due to a knee problem that required surgery. The midfielder missed the entire pre-season and had to follow a personalized fitness routine.

Allegri has confirmed that he is now match-fit and underwent intense training sessions to prepare for his comeback.

 “Pogba is better. He had a good week and responded very well on Wednesday after a very intense training session. He is available tomorrow and he could be used,” he told reporters.

Allegri was asked about Romelu Lukaku’s potential transfer to AS Roma and its impact on the title race.But the manager abstained from giving his opinion and said: “I don’t know if he’ll go to Roma, I only know that we have five strikers who I am very happy with. I can’t be the judge of what other teams do. When the market ends, we’ll have more clarity.”

Juventus fans eagerly await to see if Pogba will play in their match against Bologna at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday.
