Since his return to Juventus from Manchester United, Paul Pogba has only appeared in five games for the club.
Paul Pogba, a former midfielder for Manchester United, was given his first start in more than a year but only played for 24 minutes.
Sunday night’s Serie A matchup between Juventus and David Okereke’s Cremonese saw Pogba reinstated to the starting lineup.
But after 390 days of battling injuries, he played for just 24 minutes as Cremonese held Juventus to a scoreless draw at halftime in Turin.
Pogba is injured once more.
For the Old Lady against the bottom-of-the-table team, the former World Cup winner had a strong first period.
However, he attempted a long-range shot in the 24th minute and immediately collapsed while clutching his hurt thigh.
He continued to hide his face behind his jersey and exhibit a self-conscious expression. As the medical team followed him down the tunnel, he appeared to be in a vulnerable state.
In midweek’s first leg of the Europa League semifinal against Sevilla, the 29-year-old was crucial in helping Juventus avoid falling at home.
With one key pass, 22 touches, and two passes in the final third, he finished the game with a chance created.
